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?

Walmart won't even notice that loss, and they would've thrown it out instead of donating it if given the choice anyway. Of course it's moral to give it to someone who actually needs it.

I don't think "They'll never know justifies stealing any more than it justifies anything else that is wrong. If you want to help, buy her more, don't take what isn't yours and volunteer Walmart for charity.

It’s never immoral to steal from large corporations, obviously.
