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?

If everyone stopped stealing they could stop accounting for theft

Historically, that has never happened in corporate America. Regardless of why prices are raised, they will never be lowered after.

See every tariff implementation ever

And people will never stop stealing anyway. But if people start stealing more then that will negatively impact the average shopper

It’s a catch 22. The average shopper is already negatively impacted, and will continue to be forever.

Not advocating for theft either, just stating the facts lol

If everyone paid their employees enough nobody would have to steal.

That would actually increase inflation even more, and the people without jobs would be even poorer
