But who staples things directly to the box of a collector’s item or an of expensive piece of electronics? Store was asking for trouble. The staple would have bothered me even if it didn’t touch the screen.
Jesus. What’s wrong with you? You’re supposed to keep the box in your basement in case you need to RMA it, or sell it on eBay, or if you need to be reminded of every piece of technology you’ve ever bought and just can’t let the boxes go.
In one article (maybe not this one), the reasoning was that these were preorders, and they needed to ensure that each preordered console was saved for someone who preordered it.
In that state, plastic bags are illegal and haven’t been replaced by paper bags, so that’s out.
Generally, they’d tape the receipt to the box. But it was especially hot in the store on that day, and the receipts were being blown off by the AC/fans despite the tape.
They didn’t have stronger tape, but they did have a stapler.
Perfectly logical for someone who doesn’t realize the box is part of the purchase. I hate it, but I get how it happened.
Sure, that’s on Nintendo a little bit.

Your switch 2 box is not going too become a collectors item.
Yeah, blaming this on Nintendo is just rage bait.
So, par for the course.
Yep. And to further mitigate any rage induction, the store replaced them.

So yeah, I think that post is spot on that it’s kinda no big deal in any direction.
Minimum wage workers who have a problem they need to fix.
For a lot of people, the box isn’t much different from an Amazon delivery box. You throw it out after you’ve got what’s inside.
I’d be asking for a different box though, lol

… actually, I might have a problem.
But why does the receipt need to be stapled to anything at all? Just give it to the person or put it in the bag.

EDIT: clarity
Ahh so it’s just a very unfortunate series of events, that makes more sense then.
