I believe in Jesus so I already don’t like witch movies I had bad feeling about this one . I don’t grow up Christian I use to be witch so I know it’s very real to do witchcraft .

As a retail worker, unless they implemented this as a actual rule to do so (which I've never heard of) I doubt most of people I know that work in my store would care to, plus there's always the possibilities of scattered boxes throughout the store to miss, so it's better to just get every single one out as possible

liability as well as product presentation...all a parent needs to say is "my kid used hand sanitiser to remove the ink and searched it up" or "my kid was able to still read it" followed by "i'm suing". but also the presentation perspective, customers will not be happy with a "tampered" packaging. it just makes a lot more sense for retailers to return them as damaged goods
