Will shoplifing show up on my background checks?

I’m 18 years old, and A few months ago I was caught shoplifting from walmart in Georgia, it was my first and last time I’ve done it. Its extremely embarrassing to even think about it, but the guy who caught me told me he wouldn’t call the police and that it would only stay in walmart’s system. Now I need to find a job and my friends are telling me that it will show up on my background checks, and that would prevent people from hiring me. Another friend told me that after 5 years it’ll go away. Will it show up on my background check, is there anyway i can remove it from my record?
