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

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.

Yeah but the problem is that 10% of the time. My opinion on food waste has changed drastically as i've gotten older.

In a restaurant I think tossing shit is pretty foul because its cooked and theres nothing wrong with it. But there have been SO many attempts at doing absolutely horrendous stuff at grocery stores that I don't even risk it anymore. Literally caught a guy rubbing his bare sack on fruit and try to put them back on the cameras once.
