Shops and SupermarketsI used to work in a supermarket where the girl on the deli counter cut off the top of her finger in the meat slicer, but was made to finish her shift before going to hospital. You can now pay £100 to shoot zombies in the store's empty shell, haunted by poor dead nine-finger deli girl. Tell us your tales of the old retail experience, from either side of the counter

Plain Stanley rules for me.You open it as your hand goes past the end of the tape strip holding the top flaps to the side, cutting it across it's width then you slip the fingers of your other hand under the flap at one side as your cutting hand loops back around and slips between the box flaps. You then run the blade the length of the gap until reaching the end whereupon you flick your hand back and find the blade in an ideal position to cut the remaining end of the tape holding the flaps to the side of the box.
The beauty of this technique is that it works for any thickness/strength of tape from cheap packing tape to Duck Tape without any change to the action and ensures that neither the blade nor anything else contact the contents of the box during opening.
