More than their fair share....

I went to the supermarket today here in Hong Kong. I noticed that they had dozens of boxes of Special K and at home I had none. So I took one and started walking out. They stopped me and asked me to pay for it. I told them no since they already had more than their fair share. They said it was stealing. Stealing? Are they joking? Don't they know that it is good to spread the wealth around? These people in Hong Kong know nothing.
