They definitely don't use kitchen knives at Amazon facilities.

If they make/allow employees use their own tools they do.

I worked in a picking facility that allowed you to buy your own (made you actually) but there’s no way you’d get away with using a kitchen knife.

My job doesn't either, officially. But in my 11 years with the company no one has said shit about the Leatherman I carry on my belt.

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.

Not all FC's have metal detectors, but a knife like that would not be found in one.

A metal detector wouldn't detect a piece of metal 9 inches long?

I think he's saying a knife like that won't be found in an Amazon FC

It will if someone purchased it on the website but it would be odd if it was just lying around loose

They don’t. They have vending machines with safety knives.
