If you don't understand the need for such tamper resistentant packaging then you haven't worked in retail. At one point in time packaging was designed to make it easy for the consumer to remove the purchased item. The downside was it also made it child's play for a theif to steal the item by removing it from their package. As theivery increased they had to take steps to keep their losses at acceptable levels. To a large extent this has been successful. These days instead of trying to steal the contents of the boxes they steal the receipt, walk in the store, pick their tiems off the shelf and then go ask fo a refund. So guess what, the next step is that they are working on new forms of your receipt to make thwart this new problem. impossible. If you can figure out how to get rid of dishonesty then we might be able to get rid of such hassles like this.
