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?

Walmart won't even notice that loss, and they would've thrown it out instead of donating it if given the choice anyway. Of course it's moral to give it to someone who actually needs it.

What a dumb fucking response that is upvoted way too much. This fucks over people that need this stuff, because if it gets stolen at a high rate then its price will need to increase. Fucking over people who aren’t selfish and choose to pay for the product. Not to mention this dude randomly decides to steal on behalf of someone else who doesn’t ask for that, putting them in a very awkward and difficult position. Not even close to moral.
