So, how do we explain a sealed 5quart jug next to another one and the oil level in one jug is way lower than the other?

Locking cap appears to be broken:
The key thing is the oil in the front bottle is a different color. Definitely used oil.

This thread complains that walmart takes back used motor oil without inspection.
There is a concurent thread on here where many BITOG members claim they love buying car batteries at Walmart then returning them to a walmart without an auto center so they can get a "fresh one" without someone testing it. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/walmart-battery-warranty-policy.365437/
So which don't we like again? I am so confused.

Certainly, but I look at the caps as well--in fact, typically first, because on a black bottle, it may or may not be obvious the oil is dark/used.
You are 100 % correct...
No oil problems, but I did get bit by the filter presto chango.
Oh look! Fram just happened to put an Ultra in a EG box, and I happened to be the lucky guy who just happened to pick up that one specific box! Must be my lucky day.
Buy all my oil at Wally World, get my 10% discount.

I get the 0w30 from there but I ordered online and mobil has the foil seal under the cap. I've got nine jugs of it and they are all level with each other. It's a big concern with Quaker State and Pennzoil because I don't think they have a tamper proof on them. The oils that I have used that do have some type of seal or foil is castor oil edge EP, ExxonMobil, Red line Oil and that's all that I can remember of right now at this moment. It is kind of sad that we have to get on here and warn fellow members that stuff like that is still happening at retail stores. I always take the cap off to make sure that the foil seal is there completely before I buy. Of course there's still swapping the Fram Ultras for the Fram orange can.
I try to get all my Fram Ultras in El Dorado Kansas because the tax rate is lower there than I think anywhere else in Kansas and all open 10 or 12 from Ultras before I buy them all just to make sure that they're not tampered with.
