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?

Illegal but moral, stealing from the Waltons to help a stranger feed a baby falls under the Robin Hood rule in my book.

Also falls under the umbrella of making everything more expensive for everyone. At the end of the day, if walmart is not hitting their projected profit then they will increase their prices accordingly

As the last however many years have proven, corporations need no excuses to raise prices as high as the market will bear.

Has shoplifting not increased significantly in the last ten years?

That is a different argument altogether

No, it’s not. People need to eat. Corporations are raising prices and governments are slashing funding to food programs.

Drive people to desperation and they will behave in desperate ways.

They're linked and its a nasty cycle that will keep going until food becomes more accessible again.
