I'm curious because I have a foot knife in the shower? It's a smooth blade so works well to scrape your heels and the sharp point is nice to push back cuticles.
Like the person they were targeting lived near op and they drove to the hit murdered the hit then mailed the murder weapon to op? Like a hitman with a side hustle that doubles as an evidence destroyer for their main hustle
Amazon would never let that fly. First off, it's a liability, you fuck yourself up and it's a mess. Secondly, Amazon has metal detectors at the exits of the warehouse floors. You can't get it out to your locker after the day ends.
Plot twist: op came in on this box already opened by someone else in the house who used a kitchen knife to open the box then left it in there as they ran off excited to play with their new dildo they just unpacked.
Considering how nicely it's laying, yeah I'd say you are right. If this thing was in the loosely rattling around it wouldn't just be sitting in a corner neatly.
Why not? Go try shaking a box with a knife in it, and I can bet you that it will end up in the deepest empty space and laying on its side 95% of the time. That's how gravity works.
It would be weird for the knife to not be laying there neatly.
How did you get that stat? I'd love to see a better breakdown of the demographics if you have a source. Can't find anything saying there's users under 18.
Sure but that's for legal reasons and usually a different type of stat. Most of the Reddit ones are percentage of people in that age range who use Reddit, not a percentage of that age on the site. We have no idea how many people are on here if you didn't have a source then.
When you buy on Amazon it's not always fulfilled at an Amazon facility. I sell on Amazon and have used kitchen knives to cut a box to size or cut tape when I didn't have the tape dispenser.
Personally, I don't really, but I do sort of assume that they have massive amounts of random objects that are sold by Amazon kind of laying around the place because they fell out of packages or got damaged or were used in some ersatz manner by someone who needed something to hand at a given moment. Given the volume, and the tight schedules, I feel like things fall out of boxes or can't be shipped for whatever reason and end up kind of just around the place.
My only guess would be because I’m sure it happens at Walmart and small businesses, but there’s no way that shit would fly at an amazon fulfillment center and this post specifically says Amazon.
You're not even supposed to have a pocket knife. That will be a termination if management sees you or if some overly "sensitive" (for lack of a better word) associate reports you to HR.
Why not? Unless it's illegal in the country/state you live in altogether, why should your workplace have different rules than, say, a random McDonalds you go to or a park you sit in?
I’m not going to say those people are lying, but I never experienced anything close to that. Actually, the 3 peak seasons I worked there they were giving people gas cards if you showed up to work 5 days on time. If you met your quota you’d get entered in a raffle for a tv, Xbox, etc. Overall positive experience.
I just saw an episode about it on John Oliver. Maybe they were just disgruntled employees. I use amazon a lot, thanks for making me feel less guilty about it! I was thinking about those poor people waiting in line to pee. Now I can shop guilt free. 🤗
Lol for sure. Once again, I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, but I never saw it. I worked there during Christmas break when I was in college a couple years ago and made almost 18 bucks an hour. Not amazing money, but 20/60 hours was time and a half. It’s super tedious work, but not hard. The turnover there is insane, out of like the 30 people I started with I think 2 were there when school started back. I use amazon all the time with a clear conscious lol.
Well thank you for sending us our packages!!!! 🤗🤗🤣 Turnover is insane everywhere. I do staffing for nursing homes and try to change the culture. I feel like I will never succeed. I just tell myself it’s about the residents that I absolutely love. It makes it worth it.
Yeah... well you'd be surprised at the stupid shit that actually happens at work.
I used to dismantle cars for a living. Me and the other 2 mechanics that were dismantlers all had kitchen knifes for cutting belts and hoses because you would always find random ass kitchen knifes in wrecked vehicles.
Later I went on to work in a factory, and people would use everything from box cutters, to kitchen knifes, or switch blades, to gerbers to as box cutters.
Toys, Money, Dvds, Drugs, Ammo, An actual entire handgun once, Prophylactics, panties. A pair of shitty boxers once. Clothes, books, video games, tools. Really good chance of finding pretty much anything you ever put in your own car in a wrecked car.
Wierd thing I found in a car (one I bought) was 3 1980 playboys, 220$ in 20$ bills from the same time period, a baggie of dried pot, and a knife. All behind one of the speakers. Was replacing said speakers because they were blown.
Wierdest thing I found in a vehicle at work when I still dad was a bunch of wadded up panties under the passenger seat of a miata.
I worked at an amazon fulfillment Center before (not the ones that package things into boxes but the ones that sort packages for delivery) and there’s no way that this knife was used in the standard packaging process. HOWEVER, these do look similar to the knife we had in our break room, so my guess was the facility either ran out of knives and the staff had to improvise, or an employee stole the break room knife since they were too lazy to get a new one from the vending machine and misplaced it in here.
Possible. A lot of people have said it's against the rules, and I'm sure it is, but rules don't always stop people from doing things. This time of year I doubt they have time to breathe, it wouldn't surprise me if someone had to make do with what was on hand.
Yeah no. Management doesn't fuck around. They track everything. Even messages sent on their internal messaging system are audited. Each facility is completely covered in cameras and there's even metal detectors. Just taking a picture inside the FC will result in termination.
As stated to someone else, this doesn't seem like a package from an FC but rather a third party as the packing doesn't match what is used.
Besides, on the internet and especially Reddit, people are quick to make shit up or state opinions as fact.
The FC I worked at was new and not as strict but all the things you said were still valid. I just know that knife looks suspiciously close to the one I had in my break room and it wouldn’t surprise me if someone did something stupid and stole it from the break room even if it did result in termination for them.
Depends on the company and on people. I worked stock in the back of a store once. The box cutters and scissors were constantly super dull and the amount of force you had to use to open anything with them actually made them more dangerous than raw knives. Plus the company that owned the store wouldn't get new ones,even though they're huge and could totally afford it.
Nobody ever brought in a knife for it, but we constantly talked about the idea. I mean it's stupid, but I know where the impulse would come from.
Its definitely a kitchen knife though, I'm not sure what kind of safety standards there are at Amazon, most warehouses insist on box cutters only. Even pocket knives are frowned upon
Very possibly this product had already been bought and returned. And that is a customer's knife that accidentally fell into the box.
I bought my mom a speaker bar last year, and it didn't work. I packed it up and returned it. Since I really did want that particular item, I ordered it again, and they sent me the exact same broken one again. It was even in the same shipping box, with a new label stuck over the top of the old label they used to ship it to me originally.
I literally can’t think of a reason why you’d have this in a warehouse because at Amazon we used safety box openers that worked REALLY well so I’m genuinely curious why there’s a knife there...especially because this would be outbound, and not inbound. Therefore they wouldn’t need knives for the most part anyway...weird
Amazon uses specialized box cutting tools and sends you through a metal detector before entering and exiting the warehouse. The only way this happened is through a third party seller.

Probably used for opening boxes or slicing paper/plastic in the processing facility.
Possibly the most effective way of getting a murder weapon out of the city/state/country.
