Exactly, you're on camera the whole way round and there's one in your face at the checkout. I'm not even saying the likelihood of getting caught it particularly high, 999 times out of 1000 absolutely nothing will happen, but the risk to gain ratio is just not worth it to save pennies on a few small items.

That said - I 100% believe that if someone is going hungry and has no money for food, I see absolutely no issue with them taking it. I don't even have a slight moral quibble over that one, especially if it's from a large corp.
