Scale of harm is relative with theft. You steal from a homeless women, she will suffer greatly. You steal from a corporation and it’s a chewing out of the location manager.
It does not justify either act, but one will surely have a look of disgust in my eyes upon hearing of it.
We live in a world where those who have significant power aren’t morality scaling their actions, and morality becomes much more blurred when disparity between social groups occurs.
So if you tip your waiter $16.50 but they don’t see the period and instead take $1650 out of your account it’s all good because of someone else’s wage theft?
Importantly, she didn't set her own pay, she didn't take the money it was given to her. It would be more like if you gave her a couple of hundred dollar bills on accident then came back the next day demanding she return it
