The court heard how Csoma and another person concealed two bottles of lotion valued at $85 before leaving the premises without paying.
According to Csoma's medical history she suffers from a degenerative back injury and was under the influence of her strong medication while conducting the crime.
Mount Isa Magistrate James Morton said Csoma had been before him several times for a number of different offences.
