I unintentionally shoplifted the gum.
Yes, but you did it from Wal Mart, which steals profits from it's suppliers and employees to the tune of billions every year.
Any theft from Wal Mart is simply recovering ill-goten money.
Wal Mart is the biggest fucking thief on planet earth.
This happened before I knew all this information about Wal-Mart, but if I accidentally shoplifted something now, I would probably still take it back, even if it was from them.
If you ever do buy anything from them, look carefully at the price because they often scan it for more at check-out, then you can get the item free or for $3 off, depending on the price of the item.
