Walmart joins Amazon for packaging changes.
 

Walmart has joined Amazon in the fight against certain product
packaging. That's the clear heavy plastic kind with the welded edges
that takes a chain saw to open, well at least a sharp knife.

“We’ve (Amazon) gotten e-mails from customers who’ve purchased scissors
in a clamshell, which would require another pair of scissors to open the
package,” Nadia Shouraboura, Amazon’s vice president of global
fulfillment, said in an interview.

"joined ...in the fight"! "prodding more manufacturers"!!

What blatant bogus horsecrap. As if manufacturers are to blame for
"rage" packaging. Manufacturers, I'm sure, would rather pkg in
wrapping tissue or sngl ply bathroom tissue. It's the retailers like
Walmart the have long insisted in these armor-proof bubble packs. It
is they who have brought shelf packaging to the point of impregnable.
Now they spin it like they're the one's doing us a favor by joining us
in the fight against dem mean ol' manufacturers. Hilarious!! ....but
not unexpected from the dirtbags at Wallyworld.

Ummm.... BTW, why the Hell would Amazon give a flyin' flop about
theft-proof packaging?

About time. I can understand the problems with shoplifting so the
need for some protective packaging. Amazon and many others are mail
order so that is not an issue. In any case, the packages need better
methods to open.
