That's just because they charge for the buckets and not the baskets

So walking out with the basket isn't stealing because it's not for sale?

Home Depot has such a problem with people walking out with power tools right past the employees that they're implementing a system where the tools need to be activated digitally at checkout to be able to work.

They budget out for shrink. Most profitable stores have a decent budget for losses. If they want to replace them, it comes out of that budget.

I'm not openly condoning, relieving Home Depot of their overpriced and fisherprice quality tools. I'm only saying that if someone whisked away all the power tools from every home depot, I wouldn't lose any sleep.
