I feel like it depends. Stealing is morally wrong no matter what. But I’d probably act as if I saw nothing if someone just stole a sandwich or similar. I’m not sure I’ll act the same if I see a teenage girl of a family that is obviously very well off steal things like makeup (that one literally bragged about it in front of her parents during a dinner where I was invited).
During Walmart employee onboarding they literally have training on how to apply for government benefits. This is not hyperbole, it is fact. They pay their workers so little that the US taxpayers are forced to subsidize their business model through societal safety nets designed for true emergencies and need, not just corporate greed. But Walmart has managed to monetize that too.
So fuck Walmart. Open your eyes to THAT infinitely greater theft first.
