Good intentions, Robin Hood syndrome, or whatever you call it. You CAN'T be considered generous with someone else's stuff, only your own. A thief is a thief, even Robin Hood. It makes a good fictional story, but a poor lifestyle choice. He stole a profit from his boss and gave it to you as a gift. He has to be held accountable for that. It's his responsibility. He didn't ask you if you wanted the "special" price, did he? Were he giving food to starving children, his circumstances might be more mitigating.
Excellent analysis. However, toasty, I sincerly hope you sit yourself down and enjoy one of those smokes, and soon. You have done the right thing and deserve a break.
