Very immoral, unlike those huge moral corporations who just want what's best for everyone...

The irony is that you try to rationalize it as ‘I’m only hurting the Big Bad Soulless Corporation’, but the fact is that you’re not hurting it, you’re hurting the people who work there to survive, people who probably are much closer to being broke than you are. If shrinkage gets too high, a location isn’t just going to hang around not profiting, it’ll get closed.

Yes, that is the lie that they've been telling you. The question is why you believe them.

Stop trying to rationalize stealing things that don't belong to you, it's repugnant.

Sure, just as soon as you stop supporting corporate PR lies.
