It varies by county, court, judge, circumstances, etc. The most common penalties are court fines, community service, or a combination of both. If the county you committed the crime in offers it, there are also mandatory Diversion classes. In some cases, your case will be dismissed (not convicted) after completion of this class. You will probably also have to pay restitution to the store or business you stole from.
The law provides for up to six months in county jail for a first offense in addition to the above, and substantially higher penalties may apply if this was not a first offense (among other things, petty theft with priors can be charged as a felony, and while petty theft is not normally considered a "strikable offense", it CAN count as the "third strike", meaning you could potentially get 25-to-life in state prison).
