Pay them back, but I wouldn't expect them to trust her. Pay them back, apologize and look for a new job. Lesson learned.

What should she do? Pay them back, and learn from it. She has about zero chance of getting that job back. And if future employers check references, she might have a hard time getting the next job.
If you are basically excusing this, maybe you are part of the problem of why she would have thought this could possibly be OK. If she had worked in a bank, stolen cash directly, and been caught and fired, would you be saying the same things? Asking if she should ask for her job back, she really loved it? Do you really think that would be reasonable? If not, what's the difference between that and stealing from her employer the store?
If she's old enough to have a job, she's certainly old enough to know the difference between right and wrong. She should have learned that a long time ago - now she's having to learn it the hard way.
Sorry, but no sympathy here. You don't steal from an employer (and yes, what she did was theft) and then get your job back because you offer to pay back what was stolen, and you loved the job. Sheeeeeesh!!!!!!! She's lucky they didn't prosecute her.

I'm afraid this is going to be a tough answer.
Firstly, I know that you love your kid, but this is going to have to be a lesson that they learn for themselves. You cannot do it for them, and you need to do the right thing and step back, since this is their problem and not yours.
Secondly, no. Absolutely not. Your daughter was involved in theft. You can pretty it up all you want and say that her mean, horrible friend made her do it and that your daughter was simply too kind and too sweet to raise any objection... but she's lucky she'd not having charges pressed against her for fraud.
My advice is to encourage her to get another job asap, but make sure she does not suddenly start coming home with more money than she would usually earn. Watch for signs that she hasn't learned her lesson and is stealing again.

She should learn to fight her own battles, take a stand for what is truly right from wrong and not just go with the flow. In this instance: she should take her lumps. This is a turning point for her, will she continue to go with the flow or take a stand for what's right from wrong. I think the parents are to blame.

It is very hard to understand what you are asking. You question is not clear because of the rambling sentence.
