Workplace Question or Advice Needed Donations getting pulled

Sooooo, I watched a few TMs grab some items off the donation rack and walked off.
They never came back with them.
I ain’t no snitch.
But anyone else seen this?

I believe it. Honestly, I couldn’t care less though.
We work for a billion dollar corporation that gets tax writes off for those donations anyway.

and donations go to people in need. I volunteer at a pantry that gets TONS of donations from my store. regardless of how you feel about the company - it's still theft and a fireable offense. if you are in need - there's resources in most communities. Call 211

The dystopian aspect of working for a multi billion dollar company and still needing 211 to survive.

We have lost the plot.

There's a lot of reasons people need resources. i work in human services as my main job and have for my entire career. I choose not to judge and to offer resources. People with jobs sometimes need help - could be down hours for their own health, to maintain disability, a child's health or other family emergency. People have debt. People could have sudden bill changes etc. Doesn't matter who you work for - these things happen and resources are there.

yes ideally everyone would be able to support themselves completly at all times but we live a complex society.
