Indeed.

(By the way this is such an evolution of the days, where in large stores where employees couldn't pay attention to merchandise properly, people would open packages of two items and swap them to get one for cheaper, and the cashier simply thought someone else had opened the package and it was the last item in stock. :P)

Really? Shouldn't you become just a little suspicious when someone wants to buy something that has already been opened?

Some people need a high five in the face... with a chair.

Probably, though I've noticed in a lot of badly-maintained stores that the last few items in stock do tend to get abused while they're on the shelf, so the cashier might not even notice :/ It's definitely illegal.

Should also say that we do not condone cheating on tests, as DJ_O mentioned earlier.

Actually nevermind what I said. I totally forgot that TI calc packages requires a chainsaw to be opened (although they're much easier to open than they used to be in 2001-02).

I did see stuff like that happen in some stores, though. Zellers stores are particularly bad about that. When I went to their printing furnitures section about 70% of the ink cartridges packages either had holes in them or were opened, and some other items are in terrible condition (especially books). And in other stores, I remember buying an item that was opened and it was one of the last in stock so I just said to the cashier that there were no other left when she asked.
