Just picked up $21.57 worth of materials at Home Depot. Should I have just walked out?

It’s one hand-sized box of connectors. Without it I can’t finish the job I’m doing, won’t get paid and my family can’t eat.
While I am waiting on the self checkout machine to finish the transaction, these thoughts keep going through my mind.
I really am stupid for playing by the rules.

Laws shouldn’t be the reason why you choose to have a strong morality. It’s got to come from within and what you stand for.

I mean, it would cost you a hell of alot more than $21.57 if you got caught and they decided to prosecute.

My self checkout rule.....
If it doesn't scan after I've tried 10 times and no one is around to help, it just goes in the bag. At least for things that are like $5 and under. I'm not going in with the intention to steal, but I'm not waiting around forever after I already have to do this shite myself.

Since when is it morally wrong to feed my family?

If you use self checkout you should get a 10% discount on your entire purchase.

You can still feed your family, just pay for the item.
I legit have a physical reaction to the thought of stealing. That is my internal compass telling me to not be a piece of shite just because it's easy.

They won't even do anything. Store associates are trained not to pursue a thief. Loss prevention budgets are in place for that sort of thing.
With that being said, thanks for contributing to my salary raise baw.

I’m pretty sure almost every transaction at the Home Depot self checkouts involve some form of theft

You want the reward which is greater than the loss to play the game.
Basically, getting paid is worth more than walking out without connectors. You play the game.
Animal wants food.
He hunts or waits for another or animals to kill its prey.
Then the animal eats its prey as the reward versus sitting on his butt not eating.

You put the connectors in an electrical box that cost a dollar

Why doesn't this apply to the company though? How immoral is it to make some pay while you let others not?
Its great to take a stand for your morals but it means a hell of a lot less when your stand benefits immoral entities.
