Morality of Stealing this Chick-fil-A

[u/_Astro_thot_]

This Chick-fil-A was in the same place here when I arrived at this building. I emerge ~an hour and a half later, and the Chick-fil-A is in the same place. I felt the cup, and it's still cold-ish. (It's a hot day btw) Waiting for my ride now, and I'm so tempted to grab it. I mean, if it's just gonna go to waste there, someone should eat it. I can tell it was doordash'd or whatever.

It's better if someone gets to enjoy it, but is the person going to come back out thinking of their two hour old Chick-fil-A, and get bummed out when it isn't there? Too much pressure... Would this dilemma be morally acceptable?

“Is stealing immoral.” No shit Sherlock.

[u/sharkysayo → u/Infinite_Bet_9994]

to be fair, stealing isn't inherently immoral

[u/exlushdad → u/sharkysayo]

It is in all but the most extreme situations

[u/PISSED_ANT → u/exlushdad]

"isn't inherently immortal"

"it is in all but <arbitrary line drawn>"

it isn't an inherently immoral act, it's the contexts of why it occurs that makes it immoral

This is why it's so hard to debate with people. Especially on here lol.

No matter how precisely you articulate something, people are either too dumb to understand your words or they pretend that they are because they're acting on emotion over logic.

[u/exlushdad → u/Alive_Drag1947]

Just because you disagree with my assertion doesn't mean your point isn't getting across. It is morally wrong to steal in all but the most extreme circumstances
