if its a big store like wall mart and your taking somthing you may hinestly need, then thats far better than taking from someone direct.
Most stores have insurance for theift, even minor theift.

A smaller store though, i would re consider, they are just tryna make there way up in life, like you, so taking from them is taking from somone on your level basically.

Depends on alot of things, stealing isnt good either way, but if you NEED the item and its not just a want. Then theres a certian level of ok'ness IMO.
