if i got fired for a previous employer should i put them down as a refferal?? HELP?

okay heres the deal..i'm looking for a part time job. i had a job about 3 years ago in a drug store..i worked there for 3 years, but i was young and dumb and did some dishonest things that got me fired...so i'm looking for a similar job now , my questions are should i even put the down on my resume? will they say why they fired me? what should i do? i just think putting them down might give me an advantage because i worked there for 3 years and got alot of experience.. or should i just lie about my employment history....i've done it before. please give me some ideas.
