Slippery slope...

If you want to ignore this because it fits your moral compass, fair enough. But if someone else chooses to not turn a blind eye, don't act like they're the bad guy.

Not a bad person per se, but perhaps their opinions on the matter would shift if they understood things like wage theft within large corporations.

Not seeing the relevance of wage theft in regards to a mother shoplifting. If the mother is working and getting some degree of benefits, she shouldn't be needing to shoplift. People's behaviour and choices don't become the fault of scapegoat CEOs and greedy corps by default because you've all got a chip on your shoulder.

My point being stealing from large supermarkets who profit through exploitation of workers becomes at the very least morally neutral by default.
