I wonder why Michonne and the other people in the pet store didn't slather themselves up with walker guts and just walk on down the road?

Probably a "more trouble than it's worth" notion, particularly in the situation they were in. First of all, they would need enough walker-guts to cover everyone and they didn't have that much available and that's assuming the more naive Alexandrians would go along with the idea. Then once covered in the guts there's still a number of issues.
First, they have to move at a slower pace which just opens them up to not getting where they want to be before the camouflage wears off or loses effectiveness.
Secondly, at least one of them was injured and bleeding, it's possible his own blood could cause an attraction that couldn't be concealed by the walker guts.
When this has been done in the past the person covered in the guts still has to remain somewhat incognito, which when it comes to several people moving along is probably hard to do especially when two people are injured and have to be helped along by the uninjured. The inexperienced people would probably also struggle to stay quiet and not make sudden movements.
I think doing the guts thing just opens them up to more potential problems.

They had plenty of walker guts from the 2 that they killed inside the store.
Enough to cover 4 of them sufficiently?
I'm sure they are hoping viewers forget that ever happened - too many cases where it would have been hella useful and was not done.
^^Sure. The second episode of the series, Rick and Glen were both covered in guts from 1 walker and only had a problem running out of stink when it started raining.
I don't remember if it was addressed on the show but in the comic the reason Michonne had two walkers chained up was to keep others away.
I think the rules changed after Darabont left. His zombies could use basic tools and turn door handles and they ignored you if you stank of corpse. After he left, they pretended most of that didn't happen. Quite frankly, every time you go out, covering yourself in zombie gunk would always be a smart move.
Wouldn't be much fun to watch though.

As quickly as possible.
There does seem to be evidence that could point to the manhole theory actually being a possibility.

It was mentioned in the show. Milton figured it out when looking over Michonne's "pets."
Still, Tyreese--fresh from a beating by Rick--barely cared to get out the car, and found himself surrounded by aggressively grabbing walkers:
--which is a death sentence for anyone else, with hands and teeth coming from all directions. But Tyreese stood his ground and survived.
Yes--they served as camouflage, so one would think Michonne would instantly use the tactic which kept her alive since the dawn of the ZA. All--including the injired would have survived with a few walkers on chains. Moreover, they were in a PET STORE, so there's any number of leashes, restraints and collars tailor made for new pet walkers.
Agreed. Also if he did go under the dumpster how is that going to protect him for long? He would definitely get bitten just trying to make it to the dumpster. Nope I think he is dead and the producers just want the fans to endlessly debate it for a few weeks. It keeps the ratings up.
Then explain that leaked photo where Steven is in costume (note the holster), alongside an actor looking almost exactly like a WD comic character who has yet to be introduced on the TV show?
There's some talk that there "might" be a manhole cover underneath the dumpster leading to a sewer.
At this point, the more I hear about how Glenn might get out of the situation, the more I kinda want him to be dead (or at least bitten). I just can't see any scenario where he lives and it isn't somewhat ludicrous.

Glenn is alive whatever way he survived.
They will show us in an upcoming episode. Besides Steve has been in character on the set locations filming this season well beyond episode three filming back in June.

Either those are hallucinations or they filmed out of order at different locations and the pictures are just characters mixed together off screen while all filmed scenes have them apart.
Glen also has the Flare gun, so he goes under the dumpster a bit camouflaged from the guts then shoots off the flare gun to get the Zombies to move away.
If he still has the flare gun, and he's covered in Nicholas' blood, that could be enough of a diversion. The shock of "Thank You" has already been dulled, because there's too many ways for Glenn to escape, and again, there's that picture from the set with a character never introduced to series up to this point--and I doubt its a flashback, considering how this season tightly follows the conclusion of season five.
The walker virus is already in everyone. If we are to believe the moment someone dies, they are a walker (even before rising), Nicholas' blood and organs would be that of a walker, and as a result, provide camouflage.
