I paid a fine after I accidentally forgot to pay 2 food items from a grocery store. Will this show in my file for employment!

I was given a "Civil Demand Notice" to pay the fine. I sent the cashier's check the next day. will this affect my applying for employment anywhere? will employers see this on my file when they check for my "Background Check" ?

If you were not prosecuted, you would not have any record. Paying a civil penalty does not show up on any criminal record check.
