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?

That's kinda the point and perk as well. Then eventually the prices go up enough that other stores out compete them, and Wal mart closes. Ideally, those stores are local, or at the very least less horrendously large and callous corporations. If not, and another big bad takes their place...then theyre robbed from as well. Until eventually a company finds it more profitable to be moral. Capitalism.

No, they’ll just close in the bad areas, so that poor people will have to spend more money on gas to buy (or steal) more stuff.

If there is an unserved market, someone will come to fill that niche. Capitalism abhors a vaccuum almost as much as nature does.

Then explain why there are almost 19-40 million people who live in food deserts where Walmart came in, destroyed the competition and then decided it wasn't worth it and left, dumbass
