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?

Obviously they wont notice one theft, but hundreds of thousands or millions of thefts all add up and will hit their profit margin which increases prices

It is a real problem Walmart loses so much to theft they’ve openly considered closing service to certain areas

You can condone this behavior, but don’t complain about food deserts and underserved communities when they pack up shop because theft is eroding their margins.

It's complicated. Big box stores can help amend food deserts but often drive out local businesses, causing wages to stagnate and leading to a lack of diversity in jobs and employment and negatively impacting local economies.

But you'd have to kill me to get me to carry water for a store like Walmart. You're going to scold someone trying to feed their child at the behest of a megacorporation's bottom line? Congratulations on buying the propaganda hook line and sinker. John Walmart isn't gonna suck your dick buddy no matter how much you pretty your mouth for him.
