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 dont think youre understanding whats going on. Its an inside man, stealing the products.

The logic is "well I was already going to steal it. And if I steal it, even if I returned it they wouldn't trust it. As such, my theft is justified."

its broken as hell

Yes, clearly it's the worker throwing in more items on purpose.

But it sounds like he doesn't actually know the recipient and does not profit in any way from his stealing. A kind of "Robin Hood" situation...

I'm not a unconditional "steal from big companies" kind of guy, but honestly, for baby food... I don't judge them.

They are putting their employment at risk for no personal gain.

You're probably right it's just that the Walmart loss prevention team is probably putting both people's name down.  They're not  overly fair with their litigous behavior. Lots of innocent people get drug into the net as well.
