I have little patience with people with this type of attitude. Business is business, fair is fair, big or small. If you think it's morally wrong to walk away from the small retailer then it should be wrong to walk away from the world's biggest retailer and all sizes in between. No single raindrop thinks its to blame for the flood.

Wow. Step down from your high horse.
True, business is business, but large companies can absorb the loss pretty easily. In fact, they probably won't even notice it. I know, I've worked plenty of retail. I won't do it on purpose (as in steal), but if they make a mistake, I'd feel like an idiot for not taking advantage. I still gave them some money for it, it has almost no effect on their sales for the day; I honestly find it very difficult to feel anything but happy I saved a few bucks.
A small business can't handle that, its hard enough as it is to compete with Wal-Mart or Superstore, a small mistake still puts a sizeable dent in their daily sales. Things are not as black and white as you make them out to be.
