Silly person, the storekeepers in Virginia CAN DETAIN YOU FOR ONE HOUR on suspicion of shoplifting, and the standards the courts have set for "suspicion" are all to the benefit of the storekeepers.
The article we are discussing has false information regarding the state of the law in this state.

I worked at Wal-Mart years ago and even then we had people who would buy something, come back, pick up something else, and then try to walk out without paying and using the old receipt.

The standard for suspicion is:
1. See the article taken.
2. See it concealed.
3. See them leave the store without paying.
4. Never lose sight of the perp.
Anything other than that = guaranteed win in a lawsuit. And totally illegal.

“Virginia CAN DETAIN YOU FOR ONE HOUR on suspicion of shoplifting”
I am sure you can cough up a legal reference for that.
