Experienced a "first" yesterday when I purchased a new rifle at Cabela's. After paying, they simply handed the box to me (with tape seal, though) and let me carry it out. Have they changed their policy, or is this common when they seal the box with tape?
Taping a box that you are carrying out is a common practice among merchants. It does a couple of things. First, it keeps you from putting smaller items in the box as you leave the store. Second, it is usually a signal to security that it's been paid for so you don't get hassled at the door.
