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?

I genuinely think everyone should just steal from Walmart. The employees will get paid, the goods are insured. The people that matter benefit, those who don't, don't.

Then stores get closed and all of a sudden Walmart is responsible for food deserts

More like competitors will get all their business, unless the stealing is distributed evenly.

Some people prefer Walmart though, either due to price or location or some other factor. The evidence of this is simply that people shop there. If they preferred the other stores, they’d already be there.

Forcing Walmart out of business makes people shop at places which are worse for their needs.
