I've seen suggestions that when an item has 'too much packaging' you
should
remove the packaging in the parking lot and leave it there to 'send a
message' to the store.

Why?

Can the retailer control how the manufacturer decides to package his
product? I would suggest if you feel this to be a problem, that you
contact the manufacturer and not leave mounds of litter for someone else.
Throwing items on the parking lot only leaves the 'message' that _you_ are
a slob who has no regard for anyone else!

Of course, you probably know that much of what you might consider to be
'too much packaging' is designed to help the product survive transportation
in large sea-going cargo containers, or is a result of attempts by the
manufacturer to provide a more "shop lifter unfriendly" product.
