Is it wrong to....

ack. What a waste of time. I can't believe I read the whole thread. :yuck:

Here's one for you - regardless of whether "you just wanted to see," it is wrong, immoral, AND illegal. AND TO TOP IT OFF, if you would have known about it, allowed it to happen, and it was your credit being used to buy the item then you are an accomplice and equally as wrong.

Glad it didn't happen.
 
I love the evil corporation argument. Vote with your dollar, not by stealing or other nefarious acts.

If PetCo is bad, why would you want store credit there anyway?

Excellent point. It's just those people that complain about how evil of company Wal-Mart is but still shop there all the time. If you confront them, they're like "It's Wal-Mart's fault, I can't afford to shop anywhere else because Wal-Mart makes everybody else jack up their prices"

Lame. It's funny: Natural Selection, Democracy, Capitalism....all pretty much the same thing just applied to differnt situations.

My cousin wants to buy a Penguin 350 from drsfostersmith.com for $31 and return it to Petco for $52. He thinks it isnt wrong to do so but I believe it is. Is it wrong? He says he is just taking advantage of their stupidity for not requiring a receipt.

I'm a bit confused why this is even being asked. Of course it is wrong.

I can understand both sides of the argument. I don't think it's right, nor do I think it's a horrible thing. I think that Petco should maybe go down on their prices myself because they are basically ripping people off. :-)

Still, I wouldn't go through the trouble.

If you don't like the prices don't shop there. Trying to justify stealing by suggesting their prices are too high is baffling to me.

Having "faith" dosen't feed you OR your animals,but it shure will feed the beast known as corporate.Go ahead and do this.You are taking advantage of a defect they let happen!!They will profit wether or not you do this.Ideologies have been getting people killed in the middle east for hundreds of years,where is karma now? The same way a new car dealership wont tell you abot a current deal if you dont ask,you are not obliged to tell them about a UPC failure.

Reading this is really disappointing. I'm not even remarking on the faith issue as I believe it is a separate thing than the thief that was being asked about.

This is bad logic. It's entirely utilitarian in nature. If everyone felt like it was ok to steal from a corporation, quickly and definitely real everyday people would be affected. You may think that when you steal from a corporation that all you are doing is taking that money out of the CEO's paycheck. No, you are not, you are taking that money out of your neighbor's paycheck. The CEO gets his money. Before the CEO takes a pay cut, corporations consider massive layoffs of everyday people. Additionally, you are hurting the stock of the corporation, which, in some cases, may drastically affect your neighbor, your mother, or even your investments/retirement. Eventually, the entire stock market takes a hit because everyone feels like stealing from a corporation is no big deal.

Think things through to completetion. I work in a major industry for a leading corporation. I'm the guy next door. If you start stealing from my corporation, I lose my job.

Thanks for saying that Jeffrey. I'm glad that there are a few here that believe it is stealing no matter the amount of justifying been done. Oh and by the way...I want your red stapler and we're going to need you to come in on Saturday to finish the TPS reports.
