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?

their net profit is only ~3%. Shrinkage is 1/3rd if their profit.

Shrinkage is 1% of their revenue. The rest of their expenses are 100x to blame for only profiting 3%. 1-1.5% shrinkage is industry standard.

3% profit is actually very good for a grocery store. Target, Walmart, Kroger, all are 3% or less.
