Because the picture on the box isn't good enough

[crazylegs]

There is only one occasion where I will open a box (with permission), and that's when I'm buying a keyboard, it has to 'feel' right when I type else I get narked...

i have opened bowes but for specif reasons and unless what i oiend was damagaed i always buy it,
Glass wear, toys, sets, gifty things and the like.
I rarely buy them but when i do i want to double check that the lotion set im buying is complete (some women/shop lifter like to go into little pre box sets and take out items. So sometimes to find a complete set you have to look)

Of course, we had a metric fuckton in the back, but you know.

Isn't this sentence a kind of universal oxymoron around here?

...I open boxes in stores... but I always buy the product I open.

I agree.

I always thought it was best for you to open the box before you purchased, to make sure everything is in there, etc.

I never really open boxes in the store though, I haven't gotten myself into the habit, but I've heard horror stories of people buying an item (sealed in the box) and getting something entirely different or its missing a part and then not being able to return it because of that fact ...

I'll open boxes too. Mostly of breakable stuff, just to make sure it's not broken.

We get the box openers mostly during Christmas time, wanting to inspect the Lemax houses... Fine with me.

I hate the ones who unfold all the tee-shirts in tee-shirt aisle. WTF? The blue youth small and the green youth small ARE THE SAME SIZE.
