2 things:

Being that there was a line and a cash register at the end - she had to have known. And throwing the chips back and running would be a good indicator that indeed she did know.

You can't just pull peoples kids aside and have a talk with them - even for something important like this. Likely - at least in my demographic - there will be a pissed off parent waiting for you in the parking lot at the end of the night. Really. Most people on this website would be thoughtful about it. "Oh, she pulled my kid aside because he/she was stealing. What can I do about this bad behavior?" BUT in the real world it'd end up more like Jerry Springer. "I know you didn't accuse my daughter of stealing?" And confronting parents? Not in my neighborhood. In maybe a better community or a past time - that would be the Leave it to Beaver solution - but not now and today and here!

I wasn't saying sitdown and have a chat with the child. Just tell her she needs to pay for it.It would be the same if she walked into a convenience store and the clerk said the same. If she says "I don't have any money" tell her to go to her parents. Simple.

I think she threw the chips down, not because she was stealing it but that you made her conscious of the fact that she would be. Difference.
