This question may bring the theory of "relativity". But wrong is wrong and there is nothing to do based on your FEELINGS.

Just search for the word stealing to see some examples of various ethical considerations.
Some theories say it's wrong because more good than harm comes from anti-stealing rules. Others say it's wrong b/c it's violates the victim's ownership rights, etc...

Cause and effect means that when you or I steal (from anyone or anything) we will eventually be stolen from. In other words, if we don't want to have others steal from us, then we shouldn't steal from anyone else. The same applies to any other moral issues. Lying to others leads to being lied to. Abusing others leads to being abused etc etc.

What's the problem with stealing from a store like Save On Foods? Nameless, faceless. They have insurance that covers a certain amount of theft. What damage will one lousy cart full of cheap, overpriced garbage cost them?

Put yourself in the shoes of the one that is being stolen from or being treated morally wrong and see how you feel about it then.
