Title: Stop stealing shit, I am tired of department store electronic packaging!!
Post by: Am_I_Anonymous on July 17, 2013, 10:52:52 AM
Seriously, just had to buy a new set of headphones for work and I cut the shit out of my finger trying to get through the fort knox style plastic packaging. Fuck off poor people, stop stealing shit so we can just hang them on the rack like old times.

how about you knock it off?  all you need is a pair of scissors or a sharp pocket knife to get into one of those things easily.

Even with scissors some of those packages are pretty bad. There is no good place to start with the scissors and the packaging is bulgy as hell.

Kitchen shears. They're designed to cut through bone. They'll slice through that plastic shit like paper.

One of the few side benefits from doing time in retail is that I've yet to meet the blister case packaging I can't get into really quickly, and usually without needing a tool of any sort.  Some stuff is actually closed with no seam, but a lot of them have a seam you can just rip open.

How do you decide which of your knives is going to be the one for each particular package?

The problem with a box cutter is that if you slip the wrong way, you're either gonna fuck up what's inside the plastic, or you're going to the Medac for stitches. Kitchen shears work like regular scissors, and it takes seconds to cut around the heat seal.

But if you slip the wrong way you might cut your dick off bro

I take all my packages to the wood cutting section of Home Depot and have professionals open my shit.

Being a painter/drywall repair man, I've probably used a razor knife more than anyone on this forum, and the Frankenstein scars on my hands are proof that no matter how careful you are, you can always slip. If you want to fuck your shit up and jet blood everywhere, though, be my guest.

Yeah, back before everyone and their brother had mp3 players, I worked at a gadget/cd/dvd store in the Atlanta airport, and that's where I perfected the art of ripping open plastic packaging without using a box cutter or scissors.  Every year during the holidays, the military bases would send people home for the holidays, and we'd get thousands of soldiers stuck in the airport for hours, most still in basic and with lots of cash and finally able to spend some of it.  So, they'd buy cd players and a bunch of cds, batteries, etc.  We'd do 20k+ in sales on the first day of this insanity, and I'd just rip open the stupid packaging, hand them their cd player and batteries, then toss the trash behind me.

Thieves used to use lighters to melt the plastic on CD protection cases. Whenever we smelled that awful burning plastic smell, we knew it was profiling time!
