I worked at a music store where we sold and traded cds. I apparently made a mistake about 3 months before I quit and when it happened I was confronted and nothing was ever said about taking it out of my checks, and it wasn't taken out, until the very last check they gave me they decided to take the money out of it. (It wasn't very much, about 10$, but still, that's not ethical since we talked about it and nothing was said about what they did, I was still practically training)... I am just surprised they decided to try to 'get even' somehow (I dont even know why) by burning a bridge... Just by thinking about it, it's completely unethical and I would like to know if it's legal for them to do that and also what I can do about it? (Maybe I should goto the Better Buisness Bureau? bbb.org?)

If there is a court ordered garnishment, or a federal or state levy, then yes.
If it's a matter of you owing the company money, then that's also allowable, though trickier on their part if you decide to sue.

Maybe so, but it's a minor issue. Let it go and move on. Their bad karma will come back to them.

no, you drop it and learn a lesson,
If you are short at the register, it is commom for them to take it out of your check.
