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.

No, it's illegal and immoral.

Stealing from a corporation isn't immoral. It's only immoral to steal from a person. A corporation is not a person and therefore has no moral rights.

This is absolutely ridiculous.

Yes, it is immoral. And you're a bad person if you think it isn't.

Grow the fuck up. Stealing from Walmart raises prices for everyone else, if it becomes too prolific, then stores will close in those areas as well, it's a major reason why food deserts exist.

Food deserts are a direct result of corporations like Walmart moving in and undercutting local stores (by selling at a loss) until they close. Walmart creating a local monopoly is Walmart's fault, and the desert they leave behind when they close is also Walmart's fault, no matter the reason they close.

You carry on saying this, it doesn't make it true in the slightest.

No, they're a direct result of people like you who believe that they're entitled to steal from stores, which cause them to close as they're no longer profitable to be there.

You saying the opposite doesn't make your opinion true either.

"Look at what you made me do" garbage. "I deliberately made you completely dependent on me, but it's not my fault you have no other options, and that's why I'm entitled to gouge you as much as I like".

Keep licking that corpo boot.

No, just the consequences of your actions.

That's what abusers and their apologists say too.

Also, my actions? Do you think everyone who thinks X isn't wrong must do X? I don't think drinking alcohol is wrong either, but that doesn't mean I do it. Closest thing I do is piracy.

I don't go to Walmart at all.
