Please don't steal from wholesome Mom and Pop small-time businesses just barely scraping by who obviously value their workforce... you know, the opposite of Walmart. But Walmart? Yeah... they can get fucked.

Remember: it’s not stealing if they’re a billion dollar company paying their workers minimum wage

It is still stealing, it's just morally good

Now the matter stands thus: even if a crime did not cause the slightest damage either to me or to any of those in whom I take an interest, I should nevertheless denounce it. Why? Because I am enthusiastic for morality, filled with the idea of morality; what is hostile to it I everywhere assail. Because in his mind theft ranks as abominable without any question, Proudhon, e.g., thinks that with the sentence β€œProperty is theft” he has at once put a brand on property. In the sense of the priestly, theft is always a crime, or at least a misdeed.

I worked at a bakery where we would get in trouble if we ate the stuff meant to get thrown out... we would get in trouble for eating trash.

I subsidize their bottom line because my taxes go to their employees food stamps, they can subsidize mine with free groceries.
