As far as using the big tupperware container to store your BF loot - I thought you would only get in trouble if you past the registers and exited the store without paying for your stuff. Now, if your sticking items on your person then yeah I could see the store saying something about that. But having a container IN YOUR CART and having your items in that container that is still IN YOUR CART shouldn't be grounds for concealing merchandise. It certainly doesn't look like criminal intent to me. I heard WM's shoplifting procedures were pretty much cut and dry. You have to be seen concealing the merchandise, the person who saw you must not let you out of their sight at any given time, the merchandise must be over a certain dollar amount (like $30 or so) and you must exit the store without paying. all of that has to happen before they are allowed to stop you. It all boils down to less lawsuits against WM for unfounded detainment and searches.
