As I write this, I'm opening boxes of Post-It Notes in the main store in southeastern Wyoming with Freddie Svenson, Dayshift Manager for 3M, Grant Vennison, who is senior research engineer for 3M, and several other stock boys. We're testing Freddie's keys to his 1978 Pacer on several boxes of the new, hot-pink Post-It Notes.
I must be living in a vacuum. Grant tells me that the use of 'box cutters' have a rapidly growing following among stockmen, especially office supply workers. I had no clue. Only once in my life have I ever seen anyone using one of these dangerous utensils.
I call them "assault" utensils, which may upset some people. Excuse me, maybe I'm a traditionalist, but I see no place for these weapons among our restocking fraternity. I'll go so far as to call them "terrorist" utilities as they were used in bringing down airplanes on 9-11. They tell me that some companies are producing "safety" blades.
Sorry, folks, in my humble opinion, these things have no place in opening boxes. We don't need to be lumped into the group of people who terrorize the world with them, which is an obvious concern. I've always been comfortable with the statement that stock clerks don't use assault box cutters. We've always been proud of our "just sharp enough keys."
This really has me concerned. As stock replenishers, we don't need the image of walking around the store carrying one of these weapons. To most of the public, an box cutter is a terrifying thing. Let's divorce ourselves from them. I say other departments should ban them from the warehouse and showfloor.

You sir, with all due respect, are an idiot.
You people better think about what you are doing because the majority of us do not use those guns and never will but if you keep proving your stupidity we can help take them away!
Ok, let me clear something up for you BOYS.I own 114 diffrent guns and 10 of them are assault rifles including AK47 and AR15 that I have collected over the last 20 years. The problem here is not the gun nor the 30 round clip, it is the idiot using it shooting wildly at anything that moves. So rather than talk big man crap you had better open your eyes and help change the view of these weapons that we all like to have fun with rather than trying to hang anyone that disagrees with you. It is so many guys like you that have not got a clue about how you will lose the rights to your guns because you dare someone to come and take them. HAHA If the Antis get their way you will beg to give them up because they are going to make it so costley to own them that you will not pay for registrations and Taxes and Saftey courses that are mandated out of your pocket. These things will cost thousands by design and if you do not pay and do not shoot only when and where they tell you you will go to jail. That my friend is when you will turn your gun in on your own. So stop talking like some kind of inbreed White Klan member and try to educate yourself and your friends about being responsible and finding out what is really going on.

What?" You never heard of Barry?
BUT, for this old swamp rat, there is something intrinsically "unethical" about being afield with a 30-shot clip, "automatic", military, people-killer rifle.
