In the parent comments, it seems like the package handlers are being deliberately rough, i.e. putting in extra work, to ruin these packages.



I did not intend it that way. They handle something on the order of thousands of packages per shift. They aren't putting in extra work to be rough with even most of them.


> Every one of them said that they (and all of their coworkers) handle all packages on a scale ranging from rough to purposefully damaging. One guy told me how he targets boxes marked Fragile for extra abuse when he's exhausted/angry/having a bad day.

But it does look like at least some are worth the extra effort to damage?
