Is it normal i do not understand why stealing from big companies is wrong?

I see a lot of posts about shoplifting and eating food in the store and many people seem to think it's not ok to do. Personally I have stolen and eaten many things in the store and see nothing wrong with it. The fact that it is illegal means nothing to me because I should not have to follow laws just because society thinks I should.
I will say I do have morals about stealing. I never steal from people and I never steal from private man owned businesses.
I will however steal from big stores like walmart and other big corperations without thinking twice about it and could not give a shit if they even were to go out of business. I see big companies as evil and I do understand that the evil corperations may punish their employees for people stealing while they're not looking, but maybe they should have thought about that before working for a corrupt company.
In fact I hope they go out of business.

Is It Normal?
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

  • And who will suffer from this? The poor employees that work for a minimum wage. So, in the end you do steel from the people you moron.

    • I think steel might be a metallic alloy rather than the act of taking your belongings without your permission.

    • Yes I agree a thousand times

      My paycheck has gone down a few dollars because the mass amounts of thefts we have at our store sometimes.

      • and people shoplifting from the other store will drive their prices up.

        yes, a big store/ would be hurt less by theft than a smaller business or an individual, but its still lost money and it adds up. enough people steal and it hurts them, their employees, and their customers.

  • I used to steal lots of groceries when I was broke. And what happened? Absolutely nothing. Nobody gave a shit. Nobody's paycheck went down and prices did not go up.
    With massive stores, it's obviously a drop in the ocean.
    They can't lose.

    But wait, what if everybody thought like that?
    What if everybody shoplifted? Well then you'd be a damn fool not to.

  • I either steal everything or steal nothing. I have my own distorted view on when it's ok. But actually, the best way to get at Wal Mart is to NEVER shop there. They will feel that pain. I used to shop there due mostly to lack of options but was able to stop going there once options opened up and I calculated the loss of business to Wal Mart to far exceed any amount I could feasibly steal from there.

  • What a bunch of DUMBASSES!
    When you steal from the big companies, they just raise their prices to cover the losses (it doesn't cost THEM a thing!) and the customers end up paying for your theft. The customers are just regular people; the ones you say you will not steal from. So what grounds do you have to justify your thefts now?
    DUMBASS!

    • The costs are already raised to cover shrinkage (whether you steal or not). So you may as well. If you don't it's like they're getting something for free.

  • First of all, stealing is wrong. It's not like I never grabbed something small from a large store, I'm certainly not that innocent, but those things just don't belong to you.

    Of course those large companies would hardly notice such small things missing, but if they allow you they have to allow everyone and then they'd be out of business very shortly. And then where do you go? The small private owned stores are often more expensive, so there's a reason the big stores need to stay in business. They can have lower prices.

    • People should buy from private owned businesses. I support big corperations going out of business. They sell GMO foods and other bullshit that should not be consumed or bought.

  • I loved this post. Sounded like teenage me talking. Though at one point I was stealing from everyone. Shoplift as much as you want just don't get caught.
    It became a full time hobby for me though, would go into every shop possible and set goals for myself, make sure I didn't leave empty handed and even time myself sometimes for jokes.

    Though, stealing is stealing. Whether it from a friend, house or a big corporation. So one shouldn't really delude themselves into thinking stealing from big firms isn't wrong. It's wrong but we just don't care :)

    To hell with them and their million dollar profits anyways. Every man for himself in this dog eat dog world.

  • It's called a victimless crime. Like garbage in the street.

    Take a DVD from walmart, you individually aren't going to affect prices. Just as your individual vote isn't going to determine which candidate gets elected.

    This post reminds me of the woman who admitted on a radio show that she was perfectly capable of working but both her and her husband planned to continue living off of welfare, foodstamps, and unemployment, just because they could.She doesn't feel guilty because she doesn't have to see any individual suffering as a result of her actions.

    But it is undeniable that people who carelessly litter, people who carelessly live off of welfare, and people who carelessly steal from big corporations have a COLLECTIVE effect that is detrimental to society. I don't like to see dirty streets. It's not one person's fault. I don't like to pay higher taxes because of the multitudes of people abusing the system. I don't like to have to pay more, period, for the people who freeload off of society. If we all thought like that, then what kind of society would we have?

    If you care, (and I hope you care) ask yourself what team you stand on, collectively. If you have any self-respect or love for the world you live in and for humanity, you'll not be a freeloader.

    • I am very generous and sharing towards people I care about. However I do not support big corperations. I actually hope they go out of business. They are the true corruption. If I lived in a world where everyone owned their own business I would not steal from anyone or anywhere. Big companies are what control our world and take from everyone else. People who shop there are only supporting their reign of terror and if the prices go up then they will not have so many customers. I highly support big companies going out of business. I would like to live in a world where people work to build their own companies and make their own products even if it is more expensive. I would much rather pay more for something man made than less for something mass generated.

  • You are driving a STORE out of business every time you steal something from them.

    It's not the corp that suffers. It's the individual store. With it's employees. That live in your town. It may be okay if a small % if all customers steal, until it becomes all customers. Then there is no point in business. there are no jobs. there are no wages. the entire community suffers when employees are dislocated. they can't consume as much food, heat, electricity or other products/services (from the piece of shit company you work for). Which drives the regional economy down, which makes your dollar worth less than it did before everyone was going around claiming things that aren't theirs.

    basically, that's the short story. a corp may be a piece of shit...

    but so are you for being so near sided, purposely flagrant, and I hate to accuse...stupid.

    • I want the stores to go out of business. I know that they are franchises of the bigger company, but they are still making that bigger company bigger by being a franchise. Customers shouldn't be supporting them in the first place.
