23. Staples loss prevention is notorious for going through packages that are dropped off at stores

A friend of mine who worked at two copy and print centers said the managers and loss prevention would make it a habit of opening people's packages after the customers left, their reasoning was that it was on Staple's property and they had a right to do it.

I'm sure this isnt an isolated incident in fact most staples stores have a little disclaimer up about having the right to "inspect" packages.

There is no way in hell I would trust this company plus I'm very happy with the service the USPS provides.
