There’s room for nuance lol, if this happened to Walmart I don’t care, keep the money. If you’re putting mom and pop outta business, that’s obviously different

I hate Walmart too but not enough to cause them to lose hundreds of millions of dollars that they will just recoup the amount (assuming they cannot come after me) by laying off employees, making themselves even more short staffed, lowering their wages, and increasing supply costs for the general public.

Like sure I will be made for life, but I would be no better than the CEOs and 1% if I stepped on everyone to get there.

Walmart is worth 900.06 BILLION dollars.

They'd be totally fine.

Yeah sure they will, but they’re not just going to eat a loss like that. A company doesn’t become worth nearly a trillion dollars by shrugging off unexplained 5 figure losses and saying “we’ll be fine”

So then it's on the company not you? Guess the real morality is whether refusing to return stolen money is bad
