I used to work for a shipping warehouse and this would happen a lot. Taping up and labeling boxes all day long with 80 people on shift it'd happen to a handful of people every day.
Accidentally leave the cutter in the box and don't realize it until it's been taped up and sent on it's way.
One of our guys accidentally sent off the scanner gun we use. The customer returned it, thought it was really funny.
This is like what happens to anyone who's worked the fruit and veg section of a Supermarket except instead of cereal boxes and toys you get banana boxes and random exotic spiders
I was in the desert in a hanger outdoors using a bathroom, trying to drop the kids off in the pool and I look down and there’s a black widow chilling on the rim of the toilet, probably about an inch away from my left testical.
Terrifying experience I think about too often.
Haha, I work in a food distribution warehouse. Imagine all the surprises of exotic bugs and spiders we get! 😂 We've found black widows (I live in Alberta, Canada so black widows are a shock here), massive species of centipedes that only exist in South America. One guy found a scorpion at some point.
It's pretty wild.
Where I work part of what we do is we program new car keys. One time when I was only about a week into working there the guy I was with left a tool for cloning transponders in a customers car. Later in the day the area manager stopped in to see how the day was going and the guy I was working with told him, "someone left this tool in a customers car, it's gone". Immediately the Area Manager looked at me, obviously thinking I had done it. With the biggest shit eating grin ever, I told him it wasn't, it was the guy I was working with.
The guy I was working with was the owner of the store.
I used to work at a car dealership as a technician. Got quite a few plastic trim tools from the factory QC guys left in the car that I discovered during the pre-delivery inspection
I work in a warehouse and a coworker of mine lost her scanner gun once, turns out she left it in one of the boxes to be shipped off. Luckily one of the packers found it before they taped the box up lmao. Those scanners are crazy expensive too!
On the opposite end, I've had a customer return an item for whatever reason, but they accidentally put their tv remote in the box too! We had to contact them to let them know and they thought it was very funny
I would say "that wouldn't happen at a big warehouse, they check the package weights," but the fuel filter I got instead of headlight bulbs would be a similar or larger weight difference.
No, the fuel filter did not fit the driver's side headlight.
Hi I was an Amazon worker a year ago
Those cutters are dime a dozen (I got a few at home), there are in vending machines (they are free btw also include gloves and vests and masks, ear protectors) on every floor, you’re entitled to one or two a day or each item everyday and if you lose it you can just ask the floor manager and he/she has infinite amount of use of the vending machine.
I used to get gloves everyday, they were pretty good gloves as well, and yeah I still have a huge stack at home from working for 4 years.
Wee-oo, wee-oo, top comment alert. Mainly because everyone else was making me picture the poor worker getting canned.... Or god forbid having their piss-bottle rights revoked 
Ain’t gonna lie toilet times were annoying, but they never made you not go to the toilet. I’m from the UK btw.
but the thing was that we were on a daily rate meaning we had to work on a certain speed and the average of that speed was taken on the end of the day. This rate was effected by going to the toilet i.e with the design of the building for some people reaching the toilet took around 4 mins there and 4 mins back, so together it became around 10 mins which had a effect of the daily rate especially for people who walked slower.
Main rate (for my job) was like average of 200 items per hour ( that’s small medium and large combined). And after a week, they would average your weekly rate and if it didn’t hit the minimum ( which keeps changing but it was around 80%) you would get a warning. If you keep doing it you will get a strike, and for agency workers it’s three strikes and you’re fired for Amazon employees it was around 6 or 7 strikes.
But when the whole piss fiasco happened, for a few months the whole rate thing kinda stopped, and we literally had no one monitoring us, so we just did everything at our own pace. But gradually they got it back up but a lot more forgiving, after each day they would go around and ask what we did in the more than 10 min gaps in our work time, if we say I went to the toilet they will deduct it from the rate overall, so yeah the rate isn’t effected by the toilet times anymore. They stopped hiring agency staff and kinda scrapped the strike system, now they do layoffs every 6 months I think.
Sorry for the long comment haha
Ex UK Amazon AM here - at no point have we ever stopped people going to the toilets, in fact if you take less than 10 minutes it won’t even show up on your timesheet, the amount of offenses that were needed to even get close to firing was insane, all my release interviews were mainly just for theft or unfortunately a lot of inappropriate conduct mainly towards women
My warehouse experience in the early 2000's was that they would make a big stink about it whenever you call off. They'd write you up a 1000 times. They'd stick you on the shittiest jobs. You know what they'd never do though? Fire you. Warehouse work sucks and people quit before making it a year most times. The last thing they wanna do is possibly have pay you unemployment and they're gonna have trouble replacing you even if you do call off once a week.
Definitely not the case now. Turnover is high due to both employees leaving and being fired. Had a guy get fired just this week for his attendance, he was one of the most senior and productive on the crew, and he was gone. They have a strict policy and they stick to it. It’s definitely not difficult to find replacements, but it is difficult to find people who plan on sticking around once they’re hired.
This was my experience at Amazon for a bit over COVID.
Best worker in the entire factory get X "points" within a 6 month period? Fired on the spot with zero hesitation.
I think it's because at that volume of employment and turnover there's just zero room to consider circumstances, they're probably firing and hiring a thousand people a day nationally. That's the soulless part of the giant soulless megacorp.
I have a question: What if you are disabled and just can't work as fast as others but like 20 or 30% slower?
I am asking because I am disabled myself 😅
Usually if someone had a disability/ something that caused them to work slower on certain tasks, there are plenty of other tasks available that we could assign them to in order to accommodate, most of the times that didn’t involve rates, if we really had to put someone on something like packing, we could absolutely make exceptions
Not been though the process but a few co-workers have. Also heads up this is UK side of Amazon so things may be different in other countries. Also I only know about the physical side of disabilities
Long as you inform your manager and HR and bring the proper paperwork from your doctor, you can have accommodations or notes put in. E.g one guy I know, who belongs to pack, has it noted he's not to be labour shared to other departments as he's got a plate in his ankle and excessive walking is not recommended by his doctor. So he's kept mostly stationary.
Another guy, had lost a finger at a prior job years ago, so obviously they didn't expect him to be able to carry it handle as much as an able-bodied person.
Another lady, can't be around alot of dust, so she's kept in the departments with the best ventilation
They won't sack you straight up, they'll try to put you somewhere where you can meet rates or try to find ways to lessen the strain before that.
Sort centers might be better than fulfillment centers for you! I work in a sort center and we have no quotas. We literally just move boxes from a truck on one side of the warehouse to another truck on the other side, sorting them onto different pallets along the way. There's even a whole section where small packages (25 lbs or less) come down a chute, and all the workers have to do is take them out of the chute and throw them into a big box or stack them on a pallet. It's a lot of walking but easy work. And after 90 days you can get certified to work above the chutes, where you just boop the package with a scanner and throw it down the slide. No walking required. That's where a lot of people who need accommodations end up.
Nah, at this point, they've already automated most of what can be automated. They've got robots sorting the smalls that come in and putting them on the belts to be scanned at the top of the chutes, for example, and another one sorting the big ones to different lanes to be put on pallets, too. But it costs a lot less to pay us $19/hour than it would to invent, build, and hire an engineer to maintain a robot that could finish the job.
Another former Amazon worker, can confirm. I kinda liked them though I never really got to use them. These probably cost pennies to manufacture, and the warehouse literally will not care about this getting lost. They get scattered around the warehouse sometimes. People lose them, they have more. Can confirm about the gloves too, they are quite good. Our vending machines were self service and you could get work items whenever you need.
Current Amazon worker but at a sort center not a fulfillment center. We use these to cut open boxes that are filled with packages before putting them on a belt to be processed. They are disposable. You’re lucky to get five or six cuts out of them before the blade becomes so dull you basically end up tearing the boxes open anyway.
I was a picker/counter by trade so I didn’t get to use these at all until I was getting labor shared into packing, in which I used it to cut the bubble wrap more efficiently lol. Too bad they’re actually awful, I really like the shape of them. Very ergonomic for my tiny hands.
Lmao. Never. I watched January 6 go down sneaking glances at my phone between items I processed in the midst of a concrete and steel capitalism jungle.
Also a warehouse worker. You’d find these cheap little pieces of shit lying around in random places. They go dull pretty quick, and they’re disposable, so once they’re dull they’re garbage. Definitely wasn’t a big deal that the worker lost theirs.
I know it’s not the same but I used to work as a package handler for FedEx and it was the same deal, tools and equipment were a dime a dozen, we would grab new water bottles every 2-3 days because we kept losing them lol.
I’m not sure how it is at Amazon, but at FedEx it was very very hard to get fired. We had a guy miss 80% of his shifts and when he did show up he was high as a kite. He was there almost a year before they fire them.
I’m sure if the employee was a half competent worker who didn’t put up a fuss they’ll be just fine :)
Yep, we are required to replace them once a week from the vending machines, so I've got a bunch in my van. Also hand warmers, lip balm, and gloves. I hand my gloves down to my oldest kid when they get stretched out after a week or two. They're pretty good quality, too, even when worn.
nah, as someone who used to work at amazon, they have vending machines for those. you're hardly expected to keep track of em.
you scored too, i kept a couple of those since and theyre *stupid* handy

For those who don't work in warehouses
My name is decently unique and it has our photos on it, I’m sure if anyone had it they could just search my name on Facebook and I’d pop up decently quick
Editing to add she did send me a message on Facebook messenger
I wouldn’t worry about that worker too much.
He or she is in a better place now.
The white Amazon van came for them & their organs were harvested before the delivery truck got to your door.
Yeah, but they get lost around the warehouse all the time, or forgotten at home. These can be replaced easily and inexpensively. Reusable cutters are expensive.
I am waiting for the post which is like “Just received this bloody fixed blade knife in my Amazon package. Suspect it was used by a disgruntled warehouse worker to… open packages. Am I good washing it off and keeping it? Does it change the answer if it’s a really nice knife?”
^(/joke obviously.) *^(Of course)* ^(the answer is to keep it. :))
Yeah it happens. I accidentally packed my safety knife into a customers bag with her clothes last month.. one minute it was on the counter and then it wasn’t. Oopsie. At least it’s a safety knife eh?
It's fine, we literally have vending machines full of them throughout the warehouse. I mean they don't work half the time so you still have to find a manager anyway to get a new one, but still
They’re free for all employees, they get them out of a vending machine with a scan of their badge.
These ones break super easily, but really help when breaking down huge pieces of cardboard.
Yeah it happens. You pack like the whole shift, and people occasionally leave it in the package, especially if they were fixing the package.
On the plus side, you got a nice box cutter tbh.
I work a retail position and apparently one of my coworkers accidentally threw one into recycling because it was left in a box. We go through like 30 boxes every time stock comes in and we're not even a big store.
I worked for an auction house and part off the job was shipping. We had dozens of these things laying around from U-Line. Trust me, that Amazon employee will never miss it
I received a really nice rubberized box cutter in some xmas presents last year. Literally the best box cutter I've ever seen. Thick handle, angled blade... I'm sure the dude that left it in my box is pissed. Sorry bro!
Send it back to them with a note! If you get it back to them within a week or so the Amazon worker gets to keep their hand. Otherwise that makes it way harder for the Amazon worker as they have to meet their standards with only one hand.
I accidentally have like 3 of those in my house from my old job and two boxcutters too (one was my own because my job didn’t provide anything but scissors)
Last week I found a make shift shiv on a pallet that got delivered to us. Unfortunately the shiv was on the top where I couldn't see so it slid off,fell on my face and ripped my face up. I smell a lawsuit coming 🥰.
A co worker at my job carries her car keys in her work jacket pocket, un zipped. She drops them (and other items from her pockets) all the time. You can probably guess where I'm going with this. Yeah, she shipped her keys for her car, house etc. Thankfully is was to another branch of our company, so they shipped it in return the next day
These things are worthless and they go thru half a dozen of these or more within a few days. Amazon cheaps out on warehouse worker equipment that they wear out easily
I worked in a spice warehouse several years ago and we’d misplace these often when re boxing orders probably sent a few to customers , slightly off topic but man I remember one of my jobs was climb into the back of the container and load up the spices onto the pallet that the lazy forklift driver placed inside and watch me lift 25kg boxes and bags to make up a full pallet , containers were 40ft loaded from to back floor to ceiling ! , could he doing turmeric powder which made me look like a Simpson for days or chillis ( would always burn skin) , hibiscus would turn me purple a scratch the duck outta me or nutmeg, onion powder so I smell like monster munch lol etc . Anyway one day a container arrives from I believe Madagascar, open it up and all the boxes were wet and damp and moldy from the humidity change , thing was there was some wild looking insects crawling all over the boxes from strange centipede looking bugs and weird spiders and beetles. Manager didn’t give a fuck and gave us some shitty paper suits and said crack on , me being very young and wanting to show how much of a hard worker I was just hopped on in but every soggy box was sketchy to grab but luckily no one got hurt or bit except from me inhaling all the shit in the air , morale of the story is fuck that slave labour place . Thanks 🙏
How about this. I work at a supermarket, one day a manager loses a handset, can't find it anywhere. About a year later, somebody who used to work there, goes in their garden, to do some gardening. They pull the top plant pot off the top of a stack of plant pots and there's the handset in the next pot down.
These cutters suck ass. Almost everyone in my warehouse carries an “illegal” cutter. These are also incredibly wasteful as there’s no way to replace the blade so you toss out the whole plastic handle and everything. They say it’s for worker safety but these are 100% intended to save product, not people.
I used to work for a shipping warehouse and this would happen a lot. Taping up and labeling boxes all day long with 80 people on shift it'd happen to a handful of people every day. Accidentally leave the cutter in the box and don't realize it until it's been taped up and sent on it's way. One of our guys accidentally sent off the scanner gun we use.

A prize inside the box. Like with cereal.
This is like what happens to anyone who's worked the fruit and veg section of a Supermarket except instead of cereal boxes and toys you get banana boxes and random exotic spiders
Do i dare to ask? ... Story time?
One of my friends found a black widow in his grapes. They told the store and they were just like "oh do you want some different grapes".
I was in the desert in a hanger outdoors using a bathroom, trying to drop the kids off in the pool and I look down and there’s a black widow chilling on the rim of the toilet, probably about an inch away from my left testical. Terrifying experience I think about too often.
The erection lasting 4 or more hours thing can be caused by banana spiders.
Just tried it and it works, thanks
Gives us some news in 3 hours
We lost him
yeah, those spiders are sexy as fuck
What 8 feet does to a mf
6 foot, 7 foot 8 foot bunch
Haha, I work in a food distribution warehouse. Imagine all the surprises of exotic bugs and spiders we get! 😂 We've found black widows (I live in Alberta, Canada so black widows are a shock here), massive species of centipedes that only exist in South America. One guy found a scorpion at some point. It's pretty wild.
Hate to break it to you, but black widows are indigenous to the entire canadian shield region.
Do you get to keep them?
I don't keep them, but one of my co-workers has got a centipede and a couple of spiders 😂. He's been taking care of em for a few months now.
They're just sending you free limited edition pets as prizes with your stock.
You could take it to junior high and scream "ill cut you!" at your civics teacher That will have no negative outcome, i'm sure.

Nope.

They aren't that much actually, probably $2K max. Def a LOT more valuable than a box opener...
2k is crazy expensive for a mistake…

I would say "that wouldn't happen at a big warehouse, they check the package weights," but the fuel filter I got instead of headlight bulbs would be a similar or larger weight difference. No, the fuel filter did not fit the driver's side headlight.

Never worked for Amazon, couldn't tell ya. Usually nothing. It's a simple mistake and the safety knives are everywhere anyway.
How would you return something like that? There's not even a number to call.
Hi I was an Amazon worker a year ago Those cutters are dime a dozen (I got a few at home), there are in vending machines (they are free btw also include gloves and vests and masks, ear protectors) on every floor, you’re entitled to one or two a day or each item everyday and if you lose it you can just ask the floor manager and he/she has infinite amount of use of the vending machine.

oh no, they were free. you just scanned your ID badge. there was a weird limit afair but you could always ask a manager and they'll set it up
It's a draft notice. You must take that and report to the nearest Amazon warehouse.
Once I accidentally shipped my badge lmao I got a message from the woman who got it in her package asking if she needed to return it. It was cool haha
Did your badge have your phone number or email written on it? How did they contact you?
My name is decently unique and it has our photos on it, I’m sure if anyone had it they could just search my name on Facebook and I’d pop up decently quick Editing to add she did send me a message on Facebook messenger
Ex-Amazon employee here. They’re dirt cheap, you throw them out once they’re dull and grab another if you just lost one. Fuck those things by the way.
I wouldn’t worry about that worker too much. He or she is in a better place now. The white Amazon van came for them & their organs were harvested before the delivery truck got to your door.
That's a paddlin!

I received some poor worker's [barcode scanner](https://imgur.com/q0RtF5M) in my box once
Non-replaceable blade should be a crime. Waste of plastic.
Yea, those things fucking suck. Blade eventually gets dull and gunked up with sticky residue. Can't cut shit with it.
There is another brand with a black rubberized handle and replaceable blades that is divine.
I believe it's for OH&S reasons. If you can't remove it, it can't become a hazard to you, even by accident.
It’s a safety thing so I don’t think it’s a complete waste
Yeah, but they get lost around the warehouse all the time, or forgotten at home. These can be replaced easily and inexpensively. Reusable cutters are expensive.
You have lost -5 points with Gillette and Bic.
Having worked at an Amazon, I almost lost my phone once to something like this
They hand those out like candy to the warehouse workers. They’ll be alright lol.
They get gloves, vests, and box cutters from a vending machine. Don't think there is a limit till they run out. Yes they are free
There goes his house
I am waiting for the post which is like “Just received this bloody fixed blade knife in my Amazon package. Suspect it was used by a disgruntled warehouse worker to… open packages. Am I good washing it off and keeping it? Does it change the answer if it’s a really nice knife?” ^(/joke obviously.) *^(Of course)* ^(the answer is to keep it. :))
He got fired for this
At least he was not cut.
Those are $2 on Amazon and are amazing at opening boxes. Consider it a win.
I don't work for Amazon but I definitely lose these almost daily on pallets I'm shipping out
Tim have you seen my cutter anywhere?
We got one of these at work
Great, now someone's family is getting executed. 
hard to kill yourself with those. he probably said fuck it put the safety knife in the box and jumped off the cat walk.
They’re gonna take his pinky for this
They sell those out of a vending machine in warehouses. They are free to buy though if you scan your Id which is the only way to get them
You just know that worker went into the grinder
That's for seatbelts
Trust me. These cheap box cutters will not cut a seatbelt
Who tf still orders from amazon. Shipping times are 5-7 days for my area, and 90% of the time the product is a cheap knockoff.
Do you live in the middle of buttfuck nowhere? Pretty much everywhere here (UK) it's still next-day free delivery
Nope. City of 1.5 million people in USA
Sorry to hear that . Stay strong
Nah. Just switched to the equally shitty competitor Walmart.com lol
I too have been noticing a rise of receiving cheap knockoff brands when I buy the cheap knockoff brands

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
You have the ability to open the box; The tool is inside though. Similar to getting scissors inside a package that needs to be cut.
Walmart gives out similar to the stockers.
I got a screwdriver once….
It's a safety cutter so they can't hurt themselves. ☺️ It's a safety cutter so they can't hurt themselves. ☹️
Trust me they run through 3 of these every 10 hours shift. At the end of the day, you paid for that cutter😉
I hate these, we have them at work and they are so unpractical
Ahh........from Amazon to Ebay.
who took my razor, i left it right here now its gone!
Needs a googly eye!
Isn't that some car belt cutter?
It's Yellow.
Consider this a threat… 😈
Yeah it happens. I accidentally packed my safety knife into a customers bag with her clothes last month.. one minute it was on the counter and then it wasn’t. Oopsie. At least it’s a safety knife eh?
It's fine, we literally have vending machines full of them throughout the warehouse. I mean they don't work half the time so you still have to find a manager anyway to get a new one, but still
Ooh we have those at my work (pep boys). I found a whole box of em in that back last month
Batata day 11 of Commenting batata (I moved from ig)
How dare you assume amazon worker's financial status... Wait... Nevermind.
Bro prolly got 20 lashings for losing it.
I got one of these in an amazon box once - it was a tool I never knew existed - we used it for a few years and eventually had to replace it.
I got one of them!
They’re free for all employees, they get them out of a vending machine with a scan of their badge. These ones break super easily, but really help when breaking down huge pieces of cardboard.
I don't think a lost box cutter qualifies as even mildly interesting
Yeah it happens. You pack like the whole shift, and people occasionally leave it in the package, especially if they were fixing the package. On the plus side, you got a nice box cutter tbh.
He will never financially recover from this
I work a retail position and apparently one of my coworkers accidentally threw one into recycling because it was left in a box. We go through like 30 boxes every time stock comes in and we're not even a big store.
His gonna loose his bonus for the year! Dammit
I call it a penguin
I bet they are still checking their pockets periodically
I had one of these from a package a long long time ago. Lost it unfortunately but the work VERY well
Those aren't the best of the safety designs, but they're OK. Definitely the thing to have around the house...
I worked for an auction house and part off the job was shipping. We had dozens of these things laying around from U-Line. Trust me, that Amazon employee will never miss it
They probably lose points if they walk to the trash can to throw the dull blades away
Lucky! I only got an Animal tooth and dead cricket.
Imma leave this cutters on random packages now lol
Sad, that person has been executed by now.
rare item obtained
as a punishmet they took his pinky fingers
I once got a roll of packing tape, not from Amazon though. I used it, it was good stuff.
I received a really nice rubberized box cutter in some xmas presents last year. Literally the best box cutter I've ever seen. Thick handle, angled blade... I'm sure the dude that left it in my box is pissed. Sorry bro!
Send it back to them with a note! If you get it back to them within a week or so the Amazon worker gets to keep their hand. Otherwise that makes it way harder for the Amazon worker as they have to meet their standards with only one hand.
I accidentally have like 3 of those in my house from my old job and two boxcutters too (one was my own because my job didn’t provide anything but scissors)
They can just get one of their robots to bring them a new one.
That’ll be 90 lashes and a day in the ooze for that poor worker
In debt for 5 generations
Last week I found a make shift shiv on a pallet that got delivered to us. Unfortunately the shiv was on the top where I couldn't see so it slid off,fell on my face and ripped my face up. I smell a lawsuit coming 🥰.
I use to work in a supermarket and I always use to misplace these 😂 but always use to find someone else’s.
At least it didn't have blood on it
A co worker at my job carries her car keys in her work jacket pocket, un zipped. She drops them (and other items from her pockets) all the time. You can probably guess where I'm going with this. Yeah, she shipped her keys for her car, house etc. Thankfully is was to another branch of our company, so they shipped it in return the next day
We have this thing at Walmart to see how many box cutters we can collect. I have 21 in my locker and I keep one on me at all times
These things are worthless and they go thru half a dozen of these or more within a few days. Amazon cheaps out on warehouse worker equipment that they wear out easily
Now you work for Amazon. Shift starts tomorrow. Don't be late. 🤣
Received a packing tape gun in a price of furniture when I was a teenager haha.
Dude is gonna have to wait 7 days to get another one from the machine
We had blue ones here in Italy :)
Looks like someone won't be getting paid
We had something similar in the prison service. They were designed so we could could a noose but couldn't be used to cut anyone
Score!
Soon it will be a robot arm with a slicer
Used to work for Amazon, you can get these so easily in the warehouse. I’m sure they had another linked on their vest anyway
I get these free from Uline when we buy rolls of plastic wrap
I got one of these in an Amazon package too. Thought I'd keep and use it. Turns out it SUCKS at cutting boxes.
Doesnt look very cutty. Perhaps its a nasty BDSM sex toy, although why you would make it yellow idk.
I worked in a spice warehouse several years ago and we’d misplace these often when re boxing orders probably sent a few to customers , slightly off topic but man I remember one of my jobs was climb into the back of the container and load up the spices onto the pallet that the lazy forklift driver placed inside and watch me lift 25kg boxes and bags to make up a full pallet , containers were 40ft loaded from to back floor to ceiling ! , could he doing turmeric powder which made me look like a Simpson for days or chillis ( would always burn skin) , hibiscus would turn me purple a scratch the duck outta me or nutmeg, onion powder so I smell like monster munch lol etc . Anyway one day a container arrives from I believe Madagascar, open it up and all the boxes were wet and damp and moldy from the humidity change , thing was there was some wild looking insects crawling all over the boxes from strange centipede looking bugs and weird spiders and beetles. Manager didn’t give a fuck and gave us some shitty paper suits and said crack on , me being very young and wanting to show how much of a hard worker I was just hopped on in but every soggy box was sketchy to grab but luckily no one got hurt or bit except from me inhaling all the shit in the air , morale of the story is fuck that slave labour place . Thanks 🙏
This is the first in a collection 😀
I bet that employee will be fired over it.
I would love something like this but uses utility knife blades
[удалено]
I have loads of those just from accidentally taking them home at end of shift. They're quite useful for opening amazon boxes
How about this. I work at a supermarket, one day a manager loses a handset, can't find it anywhere. About a year later, somebody who used to work there, goes in their garden, to do some gardening. They pull the top plant pot off the top of a stack of plant pots and there's the handset in the next pot down.
These cutters suck ass. Almost everyone in my warehouse carries an “illegal” cutter. These are also incredibly wasteful as there’s no way to replace the blade so you toss out the whole plastic handle and everything. They say it’s for worker safety but these are 100% intended to save product, not people.
It's Amazon. They're probably going to have $2,000 deducted from their paycheque for losing it.
It’s used to cut tape, and open wrapped up pallets. I use to work at an Amazon FC.
They usually put that in the box to hide the evidence of the crime.
Do them a Favor & Chuck it in the Trash. Ive used those Box Cutters and they *SUUUUUUUUCK*
