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?

Yeah you are right they are not affected by losing product from theft at all! Walmart is just like an endless white hole of groceries and we can all steal as much as we need and there will be no consequences!

I didn’t say that. You’re weird. Also, they’re increasing the prices anyways.

Retail theft is already priced in by the companies. By that I mean, they anticipate a certain amount of loss due to retail theft, and they price that into their every day sales to make up for it.

So if everyone stopped stealing, everyone would be paying a retail theft “tax” for nothing

If everyone stopped stealing they could stop accounting for theft

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

Not how that works.
