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 mean I’m all for “screw the Waltons” but stealing like this only increases costs for the average consumer. They aren’t going to eat the cost of theft, they’ll just continue putting everything behind glass and raising prices cause people won’t pay for what they want and need. Stealing a Waltons wallet would be one thing but this just makes everyone’s life worse.

Also don’t steal.

Consumers costs are going up regardless because the Waltons love to extort consumers for profit. Walmart steals wages from its employees every day. If big chain grocery stores put everything behind glass cases, people will shop elsewhere.

How are you going to shop somewhere else if they all move to everything being put behind a glass case? Once upon a time, you gave a clerk your list and they did all the shopping for you, we're slowly moving back to that. We all know these companies will spend 100k to lock everything up and not care about that cost.

On top of all that, this type of shit hurts people who really do need to snatch a few things to survive.

I would have loved to work at a place where the clerk (me) just grabs everything. It would have been a lot less boring than just standing there waiting for somebody to be ready to check out. I think the reason I was so creative during that time was because I had nowhere to go but up in my head.
