So my question is: When and why do you steal from work? If you dont, why not?
When is ok to steal? What virtues are there in stealing from work and corporations?

Why not take the cakes at the end of your shift and give them to a shelter? or even just take a half hour out of your day and hand them out to those less fortunate than others..
Act's of kindness, and goodwill seek no collateral.. And earn you respect as a person..
EDIT TO ADD: There is a fine line between being a thief, or being a general good person.. Your situation could be a bit different from the op's..

Its a great idea and its been suggested, by myself atleast, But the company i work for will have none of it. They wont even give any of the waste to staff. It HAS to be thrown. They blame it on the "compensation culture" I.E, If someone eats one of their waste products and gets sick, they can be sued - Its ridiculious!
As for my situation, its classed as thieving by the company, however, i wouldnt really steal from any place i worked for.

If you make 8$/hr and rent is 800$ a month, and you bust your ass off just to afford a roof, then stealing from a corporate machine is just taking what is rightfully yours. Obviously they are incapable of determining a proper wage.

Well you sound like a real piece of crap with a sense of entitlement.
You listed numerous low paid and low skill jobs, why not make something of yourself instead?
Start your own business and see how much you laugh when employees steal from you.
No one forces you to work, you choose to do so for a certain wage.
If you are unhappy with your wage, that is your fault and yours alone.edit on 10-5-2011 by ViperChili because: (no reason given)
Why are corporations the only ones who get to steal?
I dont steal from people, I steal from work. There is a difference.

You're a troll.
Everyone defending miniscule theft from corporate machines is a troll.
Oh wow, you stole 100$/week from a register at Carls Jr? Big whoop. That doesn't even remotely affect Carls Jr's profits when they profit roughly 1.1 billion a year.
That's 1.1 billion dollars of profit a year, not to mention their network.
Figure it out for yourself, all low-income jobs CAN and SHOULD pay more to their employees.

Quite honestly, you've proven yourself to be quite the child. I never directly insulted you, yet you come off at me throwing insults left and right, and you expect any less?
I'm happy to let you know that I'm funding my own education and housing and bills legitimately, so your feeble insults you can keep to yourself from here on out.
I'm sorry that your views are so widely distorted, it's like you don't belong on a conspiracy site - "corporations do no evil and don't deserve to have money stolen from them", really, it's pathetic. The only other way their employees are going to get what they deserve is if the corporations play nicely and pay their employees their worth, which isn't going to happen until the revolution which is on the horizon.
