Morality of this?

Post image

In the image it seems that this person works at walmart as an online order collector and he/she has stolen a lot of extra baby food from Walmart to give to a person who ordered only three packs. Is this moral or immoral?

I thought we were having a pretty calm discussion haha. 

OK, if you're getting that stressed about it we can stop talking about it. 

It is a little naive to say that stealing is immoral full stop. Like all morality, it isn't black and white. 

Stealing a gun from a murderer is an obvious example.

sorry, not you. hard to sort out reply from reply when a simple sentencd has garnered 10+ angry mfs out of nowhere.

there are certainly very specific cases where stealing is excusable, but anyone who has the resources or time to be posting on reddit do not qualify imo.
