I work at Wal-Mart and there are actually procedures they go through to determine the punishment.
For one, if you're caught shoplifting--even something worth $1--they call the police. Always.
The police officer will handcuff you, even if you don't act like you're a threat and you are cooperative. Always.
Next, they take you into the back office and get your name and stuff. The police offer checks you to see if you have any other merchandise on you--this, I would assume, is him patting you down and stuff, but I'm not entirely sure if the process involves the removal of some clothing.
Then they add up the amount of merchandise you have taken that is on you. if the amount is over $50, they send you to jail. If the amount is less than $50, they ban you from the store for one year. If they catch you in the store within that one year, you go to jail for trespassing AND shoplifting.
If you go to jail, you'll have it put on your record. You'll be fingerprinted and the whole works.
For the record, Wal-mart is very slack about shoplifters. Most places will put you in jail regardless of how much you've stolen from the store and ban you for lifetime at the store. Seriously.
Just don't shoplift. It isn't worth it.
If you have any more questions please feel free to ask me! :)

Well it depeneds, if it's someone nice they will usally stop you & tell you to give whatever you stole back, & then tell you not to come ther anymore.
But others will call the cops & you get arrested & that other stuff you don't want to get into.
Hope I helped.
