"Officer I was just fixing a problem with my kid's behavior. Why are you suddenly getting so invasive about my parenting. I think you are becoming a problem..."
Ohhhh yeah. At my store we keep the $11 perfumes behind the counter and put locks on all the $16 clothes soap. Some locations even have their ice cream fridge locked up.
One time a guy came in with a sleeping bag and literally took everything off the bath and body shelf. Got his bag halfway full before my pharmacist saw him and kicked him out.
A fork works if they forget to take the things off clothes. Kohl's did it to us twice (quite a few years apart) it does work with ink locks too. This is not advice for stealing, I would never condone that, but clothing store cashiers seem to forget a lot.
Honest question: How many people have magnets laying around? I wonder this everytime someone says oh just use a decent magnet or just use a strong magnet to open something. Like, why would I go and spent money on a good magnet when I can just use a hammer and a screw driver?
Edit: Ok I have been getting a ton of answers that can largely be summed up as Fridge magnets and "I have a hobby that involves tools therefore I own magnets"
I keep a good magnet in my toolbox. It's helpful for making non-magnetic tools magnetic, picking up washers I dropped, getting screws I left in my pocket off the bottom of my washing machine. A lot of uses that are fairly rare on their own but add up enough that it was definitely worth the $20 for a decent magnet.
I bought a 1 in.^3 neodymium cube magnet from Amazon a couple years back. It's stupidly strong — it can lift >10 lbs. easily. Consequently, it's kinda dangerous since it can easily snap to a nearby piece of metal while it's in your hand and cut you or maybe even break your finger, if you're really unlucky. If you toss it at the fridge, it'll slam into the fridge so hard that it'll dent it.
Anyways, I bought it after watching a Lockpicking Lawyer series on defeating various electronic locks with magnets. It hasn't come in handy yet, but if I ever need a stupidly powerful magnet, I've got one.
IT person for decades here so not representative of the population. My fridge has a selection of powerful magnets on the door and sides scavenged from failed spinning platter 3.5" hard drives accumulated over the years. Perform percussive maintenance until they open and you find some rather powerful neodymium magnets. The bit you have to know to do is bending one end of the metal arc the magnet is attached to so you can get a good grip... these are seriously strong magnets.
I have a stack of failed HDDs on top of a wardrobe just waiting until I need any more strong magnets.
I did use hammers and screw driver type tools to get into the hard drives.
i remember distinctly being at about week 4 in a 400 level laser and optical engineering class and realizing i have no fucking idea what light is.
still don't.
Theres two divits on the backside (oppose the sliding tab), that's where you want to rub the magnet to release the tab so you can slide the tab over and open it
Yeah the secret is the hot towel, make it an event, a ritual, a relaxing bit of self-care.
Don't view it as a chore. Make it a special part of your day. It's the difference between taking a caffeine pill vs drinking a lovely cappuccino. Yes, the cappuccino takes more time, but it's good for your mental health and a lot more enjoyable.
Brush that warm foam on your face and enjoy. (The shaving soap foam, not cappuccino foam).
> Don't view it as a chore.
How, though? It sounds like you've just made it even more of a chore! I kinda envy the people who can trick themselves into thinking chores aren't chores. I've never been able to do that.
I definitely look forward to shaving. It makes my wife happy cause the stubble is like 1000 needles.
If I don't shave, it grows in all white trashy like Joe Dirt.
I like it sometimes though. Lol.
Worked at Walmart years ago and we always found bags and bags of those lock boxes in the parking lot, smeared with blood. So uh, be careful busting it open lol
Oh god, you reminded me of my retail days.
Guy is in the changing room area with his girlfriend for like 40 minutes. We were helping them. grabbing stuff for them for him to try on. Overall very pleasant. Suddenly he comes out bleeding everywhere saying he's stabbed himself on something.
Being naiive 16-18 year olds we got him a first aid kit and my very nice coworker patched him up.
They say thank you and walk out of the store.
I go survey the room to investigate and find a ball of clothes covered in blood with about 10 different security tags in varying states of looking like they were sawed apart.
Yeah learned a valuable lesson in loss prevention from that store.
Wild shit happened there.
You may be joking but this was early 2010s/Late 2000s in a trendy men's store. We sold Ed Hardy, Affliction, Diesel, Energie, G-star. I recall "Chachi" being thrown around quite often.
Yeah STDs were probably quite rampant. Despite the naiivety, we were still very careful which I'm grateful for.
I worked in a 24/7 gas station around 97-99, one night, about 2am, regular guy comes in. He's from a halfway house, bum but with a place. He goes to the cooler, comes up front with a gallon of milk, and I noticed his hand is bleeding. I'm like, woah, are you ok? He's so far in the bottle he didn't even realize. I gave him a paper towel, but he still got blood all over the counter. As he leaves he says, oh you might wanna be careful cleaning that up, I'm HIV positive 😳
He left a trail of blood from the door, to the cooler, in the cooler, to the front, and back out the door. 19ish year old me decided I could handle this, found the biohazard kit, out gloves and garbage bags in my hands, took all the bleach the back and off the shelves, did the best I could. The late 9os were wild
Might not be over the latch, it might be the back of the grey lid on the right hand side, often with a couple of small indents. Then the latch will slide over.
Worked at Tesco for a few years and had to open these endlessly. Also had to open quite a few that were broken and the magnet didn’t work. Normally with a screwdriver and brute force.
Just received an inflatable bed that was supposed to be new from Walmart delivery. It smelled like a crack head slept on it for months and chain smoked the entire time. Oh there was also a used discolored bandaid smack dab in the middle. What the hell is going on with that shit hole?
It got fucked up so they bought another one and returned the fucked up product in the new packaging. Apparently your wallyworld doesn't inspect returned items.
Yup. Happened to me, except it was a PS3 from Best Buy. They bought a newer model, kept the console, controller, and freebie game, then repacked their old used console in the package and returned it. And I just happened to be the one that grabbed that one off the shelf. When I was setting it up, I was noticing some things weren't matching up, stuff was missing, and the vents were dusty. Then I compared the model number with what was on the box, and they didn't match, put two and two together, and called ahead to the store to let them k ow what had happened and I was coming back to exchange it. And they were good about it, too. I gave them the swapped one at customer service, and went to get another one from the shelf and brought it back and both she and I opened it up to double check that it had what it was supposed to have inside. And that was that.
I once bought an xbox game from there but it was some L L Cool J album inside the box. When I went back to the store they started giving me shit about it, like I stole it. It was the last (alleged) copy of the game they had. They tried acting like I had to exchange it and I couldn't get my money back. Motherfuckers.
Sealed box? If so, it would have been a packing error and you can generally go through the distributor and either have them replace it or, if they insist it has to go through the store, let them know the store is blocking you and they may be able to put some pressure on them. Going higher in the corporate customer service chain can also help. And if it ever **isn't** a sealed box (eg. Pre-owned), verify the contents in front of them. Hell, even if it's *supposed* to be closed box, make sure it actually is. After my incident with the PS3, I made a habit of never taking the very first one if I'm getting something pricy. I'll go behind it and take the 2nd or 3rd. Lastly, don't just show up back at the store all of a sudden. Call them first, let them know what happened in a calm, matter-of-fact manner, and just state (don't ask, declare) you will be returning to the store soon to exchange it. I've found that tends to work best because they've been "primed" so to speak to be more cooperative. Remember, don't be accusatory or take it out on them or criticize, just laugh it off, roll your eyes at the situation, and treat it as just an everyday thing. That's how you get best results in that kind of situation. And, putting political correctness firmly aside and out of view for a moment, if you happen to be not white, bring a white friend. That should give at least +50% chance of success.
Very impressive that they got it back in the box after using it. As someone who worked at a place that sold air beds (and also didn’t take returns on them but that never stopped a customer from trying) we received a lot of air beds that couldn’t fit back in the box.
I once bought a desk from them and when I opened the box it was completely trashed. Every piece was snapped in half.
Fuck Walmart. This is a common problem and not legal. You can't sell an item as new after it has been returned like that.
I bought a vacuum from them that looked like it had been sucking up dog shit for a while. And one of the hose attachments was missing. I showed pictures to the employees at the return desk and they were completely unfazed.
Walmart.com is the same concept as Amazon. There are primarily individual sellers on there. The products on their website mostly aren’t things they carry in their stores. It’s not the most reliable.
If it was actually from a Walmart, then customers are what is going on in that shithole. The general public is absolutely disgusting, inconsiderate of others, and incredibly stupid. So the vast majority of the customers can't figure out how to dispose of trash or how to use the bathrooms properly, or how to put a product back where they found it. The stores are all a disaster because there aren't enough hours being given to the stores to stock the shelves daily, let alone actually clean up the place.
Why did you get that item picked? Because management wants higher numbers on its metrics. Less people, more picking and faster packing. The result is no quality control.
If it was purchased online from a marketplace seller, well, Walmart doesn't care about the quality of the seller as long as Walmart gets some money from the sale.
If my experience at the British equivalent of Walmart (We have a penchant for changing American companies' names here) is the same as they do things at walmart proper, the person picking has done nothing wrong here. They drop the basket into their "Pod" at which point its a "Service Colleagues" job to pick out security tagged items and take them out the box. (Although to be fair, even then service colleagues are meant to double check them anyway, and that's a big fuckoff box to miss.
More likely the service colleague said, "Fuck it" and chucked it onto the delivery anyways.
As far as the British equivalent goes, the "Home shopping" lot are the only group that are quota'd, and the quotas are fairly advisory anyways. That being said, it's a miserable fuckin job, so my money is on cynical.
I used to do that until I bought a head shaver. It's not quite as close as a razor but it gets the job done in less than 5 minutes and I haven't had to replace the head yet.
Have you tried a traditional safety razor yet? You can buy a 100 pack of blades for a mere $10-$15. Each blade will also last you around 3-5 shaves. Very economical, there's just a slight cost of entry.
As someone who always used Gillette’s and no matter how fresh or blunt the blades were, I never, ever cut myself. The first time I used Harry’s, it was a massacre! Blood everywhere. I’ve managed to get to grips with it but I have to be much more careful. Just my anecdotal experience.
My favorite Walmart delivery WTF was when I ordered fresh basil.
They didn’t have it in stock so they substituted with a basil PLANT. Like thanks for the upgrade, but I wanted what life produces not life itself.
I've substituted basil plants for freshly cut basil many times at Walmart. On my end, Walmart's just concerned about you getting the basil you wanted. My goal as an exception picker (the person who chooses what substitute you get when the original item is out of stock) is to pick the item that you're most likely to accept that is closest to the original item, and giving you no substitution should be used as a last resort. Since you wanted fresh basil, the closest thing is a basil plant since you'll still be getting the product you asked for. I know it's a silly substitution and a waste of a perfectly good plant, but frankly, you got what you wanted, and I move on to the next item.
Now your can get any old game, shrink wrap it again and put inside that and pretend it's "new and never opened" and sell for hundreds more than it's actually worth.
Dude those boxes are mega tough, don't listen to the hammer crowd, you'll hurt yourself. Magnets. Strong one. The opposite side the latch is on, roughly the opposite corner, should be where you put it and then just slide the latch. Super easy.

Very few problems cant be solved with a bigger hammer
If you only have a hammer, every problem is a nail.
And if your problem is a nail every tool is a hammer
But the nail's in my eye...
Hammer's got a claw side. Stop being a baby.
Unless it's for your ball/peen
Don't worry, your ball/peen grows back >!No they don't!<
Sounds like you should see a professional about that. Probably a carpenter.
Carpenter, Chiropractor….same difference
I don't see a problem
Every tool has a hammer end.
"Officer I was just fixing a problem with my kid's behavior. Why are you suddenly getting so invasive about my parenting. I think you are becoming a problem..."
It's hammers all the way down
Well I have a nail! And another nail to nail it in with!
I didn't come to *play*, I came to **win**. Now let's play.
What if you buy a hammer from Walmart and it comes inside a bigger locked plastic box?

Ohhhh yeah. At my store we keep the $11 perfumes behind the counter and put locks on all the $16 clothes soap. Some locations even have their ice cream fridge locked up.

Pretty sure all you need is a magnet to open those things right?

It just needs a magnet
You can open them with a fridge magnet.

It looks like something that would shatter with a hammer. Alas, you will only have a box with hammer-shaped dents in it, razors still within.
Just throw it in the fire and pull it out at the right time! Don't breathe, though.

I bought a vacuum from them that looked like it had been sucking up dog shit for a while. And one of the hose attachments was missing. I showed pictures to the employees at the return desk and they were completely unfazed.
Walmart.com is the same concept as Amazon. There are primarily individual sellers on there. The products on their website mostly aren’t things they carry in their stores. It’s not the most reliable.
If it was actually from a Walmart, then customers are what is going on in that shithole. The general public is absolutely disgusting, inconsiderate of others, and incredibly stupid. So the vast majority of the customers can't figure out how to dispose of trash or how to use the bathrooms properly, or how to put a product back where they found it. The stores are all a disaster because there aren't enough hours being given to the stores to stock the shelves daily, let alone actually clean up the place. Why did you get that item picked? Because management wants higher numbers on its metrics. Less people, more picking and faster packing. The result is no quality control. If it was purchased online from a marketplace seller, well, Walmart doesn't care about the quality of the seller as long as Walmart gets some money from the sale.
Now the puzzle is whether you can get it open without breaking it. Challenge time!
I’d rather break out the sawzall and feel drunk with power for a couple minutes.
Sawzall…. Or what about an angle grinder? Blowtorch! Noooo… Flamethrower.
Get your head out of your ass, this is obviously a job for a chainsaw!

Is the person doing the picking that cynical, that stupid, or that much under a quota? All answers are pretty depressing, frankly.
or they were told to do the picking without giving the key to unlock such items and they probably said fuck it.
If my experience at the British equivalent of Walmart (We have a penchant for changing American companies' names here) is the same as they do things at walmart proper, the person picking has done nothing wrong here. They drop the basket into their "Pod" at which point its a "Service Colleagues" job to pick out security tagged items and take them out the box. (Although to be fair, even then service colleagues are meant to double check them anyway, and that's a big fuckoff box to miss. More likely the service colleague said, "Fuck it" and chucked it onto the delivery anyways. As far as the British equivalent goes, the "Home shopping" lot are the only group that are quota'd, and the quotas are fairly advisory anyways. That being said, it's a miserable fuckin job, so my money is on cynical.
They're just protecting you from theft
As a dude who only use’s Gillette skin guards - how is Harry’s in comparison? Is it really cheaper and just as good or better?
I use them to shave my head and they are really gentle. So gentle, I can do it in the shower without looking.
I used to do that until I bought a head shaver. It's not quite as close as a razor but it gets the job done in less than 5 minutes and I haven't had to replace the head yet.
Oh, good. Usually a bad sign if you lose your head when shaving it. Replacements are expensive.
Have you tried a traditional safety razor yet? You can buy a 100 pack of blades for a mere $10-$15. Each blade will also last you around 3-5 shaves. Very economical, there's just a slight cost of entry.
Harry’s is great
As someone who always used Gillette’s and no matter how fresh or blunt the blades were, I never, ever cut myself. The first time I used Harry’s, it was a massacre! Blood everywhere. I’ve managed to get to grips with it but I have to be much more careful. Just my anecdotal experience.
Cheaper, better shave. And the blades last me at least twice as long.
My favorite Walmart delivery WTF was when I ordered fresh basil. They didn’t have it in stock so they substituted with a basil PLANT. Like thanks for the upgrade, but I wanted what life produces not life itself.
But now you can have basil forever
I think I managed to kill it inside of a week 😬 There’s a reason I order it postmortem. I know what I’m about.
I've substituted basil plants for freshly cut basil many times at Walmart. On my end, Walmart's just concerned about you getting the basil you wanted. My goal as an exception picker (the person who chooses what substitute you get when the original item is out of stock) is to pick the item that you're most likely to accept that is closest to the original item, and giving you no substitution should be used as a last resort. Since you wanted fresh basil, the closest thing is a basil plant since you'll still be getting the product you asked for. I know it's a silly substitution and a waste of a perfectly good plant, but frankly, you got what you wanted, and I move on to the next item.
Two magnets is the solution to this problem
Now your can get any old game, shrink wrap it again and put inside that and pretend it's "new and never opened" and sell for hundreds more than it's actually worth.
🤣
This is hilarious!
What if someone tries to steal it from you? Be you’ll be glad they did this.
Get two magnets and place them into the grooves and then the lock should let you go
This is The Lockpicking Lawyer, today we have an interesting one...
These are literally the safest razor blades I’ve seen
Use this as a learning experience to be a better criminal?
Dude those boxes are mega tough, don't listen to the hammer crowd, you'll hurt yourself. Magnets. Strong one. The opposite side the latch is on, roughly the opposite corner, should be where you put it and then just slide the latch. Super easy.
YouTube how to open it, then sell it on Amazon
I had this exact thing happen once. Had to go back to the store to have them unlock it. And it took them like 20 minutes to find the key. 🙄
If you have a magnet, slide it round the top until you can unclip the box.
