Watch the video: Why cashiers really open the egg carton – it’s not because of possible breakage.
It’s a quick move: open the lid, take a quick look and then you collect. Egg cartons are usually opened at the supermarket checkout. But why does the cashier actually look into the box? The answer: Because it’s the rule. If you think that the cashier will kindly check the eggs for breaks, you are wrong. Instead, they check whether the customer might want to smuggle something. A quick look inside the egg carton prevents goods from being stolen.
