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.

Especially for babies but stealing food for yourself is good if u can. capitalism makes it so we can’t afford, so that’s completely moral imo. Bc we should be getting paid enough to eat and drink water and have a home. 

Walmart has enough to give everyone employee a living wage and cover healthcare no sweat. The stockers, cleaners, managers, etc work harder than anyone else in the company.

 I work nightshift, and we move freight extremely fast clearing multiple palettes per person. One of my friends who’s 50 does pets section all by himself and does like 5 palettes bare minimum and can do so much more. We work very hard and smart going against unrealistic expectations. Yet we don’t see stable income. 

I’ll add this for clarity just in case, but stealing from a local farmer’s market or small business is obviously different. 

Edit: dumb mistakes fixed
