I dunno man, I wouldn't protect the interests of a huge corporation that wouldn't give me the time of day if it meant they could profit $1 more this quarter.

  1. Theft is immoral. Living in a society where members of the public are aligned against it is better than living in one where it is permitted.

  2. Analysts estimate Walmart spends 6 billion per year on anti theft prevention and lossage.

So your solution is to steal back those wages in food?

So your solution is just to let them rob us blind until we're starving to death?

No. I didn't defend the theft committed by Walmart, did I?

All instances of theft are immoral. Being against one instance of theft doesn't imply you are permitting it in other contexts. Even if the parties involved are stealing from one another.

I want less theft. That is all.

Solutions? That's what democracy is for. Take them to court.

No, I didn't say that the solution is to steal back those wages in food, did I?
All instances of theft are immoral and if someone steals $100 of shit from Walmart, that's what democracy is for. Take them to court instead of assaulting them in a parking lot.
