Not sure if it's changed recently, but at our brand retail store in Portland
Oregon, the manager won't let you out of the store if your PAB cup lid
touches the rim of the cup, let alone snaps shut! Well, he's not quite that
millitant, but he's told people to go back to the wall and add a few more
pieces. He'll also demonstrate how to BUILD something to fill the stud in
the lid. The guidline seems to be that about a pinky's width gap or so
between lid and rim of cup is acceptable. Oh, and if your cup starts leaking
pieces, they've often quickly taped the loose pieces in or otherwise made
sure you didn't loose any of your hard won LEGO.
They will usually pack your cup in a small bag, and tape that shut, to make
sure nothing leaks out when the lid invariably comes loose.
