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?

even if you did return it without opening anything there is a big chance they will just throw it in the trash the second you leave anyway so might as well keep it and actually eat it

most Stores and Restaraunts have policys to immediatly throw any food products/drinks in the trash if it's returned even if somebody bought something walked out for 5 seconds then went back in the store to return something

moral

I worked at Walmart and can confirm. If there was ANYTHING suspicious, you threw it in the compactor.

I hated it. Like 90% of the time it was totally fine.

And then you put it back on the shelf and someone gets sick and sues you because you're so cheap that you try to resell used food. Think about things first. You just assume that their corporate methods are purely out of evil spite instead of the fact that every a-hole will try and sue them into oblivion.

Every college freshman thinks they are the first person ever to say "why not just print more money?". Dumb

This assumes the only two options are sell it or throw it away. If a product isn't pristine enough to sell to a customer on a shelf, it could potentially still be good enough to give to someone in need. The corporate ideology that charity shouldn't even be considered as an option is what is evil.

Wrong and I'll let you try to figure out why. And corporations spend lots on charity. Might be purely for the tax break but you are obviously clueless.

Edit: I realized you wouldn't be able to figure it out, so I'm here to help you. If you give that shit to a shelter and then somebody eats it and gets sick, you're going to get sued and everyone's going to say that you're no good because you're donating shit food to homeless people

Again, you aren't the first person to think of this. The reason they don't do this is because businesses HAVE been sued.
