I completely agree with your sentiment, but I still wouldn't report them. If the odds of them being a parent in need is 10% I'd still look the other way. Shoplifting from a multi-hundred billion dollar business barely feels like theft to me. If that theft is for drug addicts and unfortunate parents I'm not gonna complain.
Now if they're stealing jewelery or other non-necessities I'll point that out, but when it comes to things like baby formula and diapers I didn't see shit.
Edit: In an ideal world baby formula and diapers would be universally free or at least as free and accessible as condoms at many health provider locations. Maybe at Walmart chargers transportation costs while planned parenthood is completely free. Either way we shouldn't be fretting about these things. I feel like this is something the left and right should be able to agree on.
