Every single thing you buy that is mass produced has had measures taken to reduce labour costs, aka putting people out of work. Most things not mass produced, too. If that is an excuse to cheat people, then yay anarchy, bring it on!
Surely you don't actually believe that someones attempt to make a profit justifies you doing whatever the hell you want?
If you want to help employ tellers, then use tellers. Robbing the store won't keep them employed.
What Paul said. Because a for-profit entity makes legal and logical changes to boost its bottom line, they've abrogated their moral right for you to pay them fairly? I don't mean to be harsh, but that is a self-serving rationalization. Go somewhere else to shop if you don't like their practices, but don't steal from them.
Although I do ay yay, anarchy, because I would find it amusing to watch the people who whine the loudest about horrible government intervention be the first ones to fall because they have no idea how to survive on their wits. Plus, I have plenty of ammo.
