Does an act have less moral intensity if you cheat a vendor out of a service that has no marginal cost than if the vendor has an out-of-pocket cost? What is the moral intensity of each of the following?
• Sneaking into a sporting event and sitting in a seat that would have remained unoccupied. Admission normally would have cost $80.
• Failing to pay $4 for a can of orange juice from the sporting event’s snack bar when the clerk was not watching.
• Taking a “free refill” of a beverage after purchasing the beverage at a snack bar, even though the posted sign clearly says, “no refills.”
