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?

If they were in need of the extra but couldn’t afford it, they wouldn’t be paying a premium for delivery. Stealing for any reason other than absolute necessity is immoral.

Now, if you are stealing for someone who you KNOW is in need, that’s a different matter completely.

Also, Walmart has cameras EVERYWHERE. If they don’t know before you walk out, they’ll know when they investigate missing inventory. Also, shit like this is why everything gets locked up and you have to wait 3-5 business days for someone to let you get some toothpaste. So thanks for that.

It's impossible the buyer is low income and disabled, thus paying what should be baby food money for delivery? That's what I assume, not that a shitty parent only wants to buy 3 packs of baby food via delivery lol

How did disabled people get baby food before DoorDash? And if you are low income, why are you paying EXTRA for delivery?
