My favorite were the JC Penny boxes. All one size even for a stick of lipstick.

I had to deliver a set of those once to a house. I got no answer at the door but heard a commotion coming from the back yard. (Pool party) I go to the side gate and what do I see but two lovely ladies sun Tanning topless.
They were chest down though darn it.

One day I had about 50 of them damn things for a Government office (USDA). As I was wheeling in the 2nd of many cart loads I noticed the head honcho opening one of the boxes and he told me he was going to open them all and inspect them before he signed for them. I turned around with the cart load as I explained that he couldn't open them until they were signed for. After a minute or two of arguing I told him he could pick them up at the UPS building and maybe the center manager would let him look but I wasn't going to. He got all kinds of pissed off-I called the center manager and let them fight it out. He signed and I was on my way. I gave him a
ty grin every time I saw him after that. That was one of the few times a center manager stood up for me. Usually them pusillanimous would let a customer walk all over them and make the driver look like an idiot.

Living in the lakes country on warm sunny days we ALWAYS walked around the back of a house to the beach side if nobody answered the front door. Especially if there was ANY chance someone was sunbathing. The extra effort paid off greatly a few times.

Its not quite that bad. The lakes are usually froze from about the 2nd week in Dec to the middle of April. Snow however is a different story. Oct.to May.

Sure do. I had a friend who worked in their distribution center. I still have a few sets of sockets he snuck out in his lunch box. I never asked for them but they just showed up. Good ones --made in the USA

I'm sure I still have some lip gloss floating around the truck somewhere

They targeted people without money who only had to pay a little a month. Which added up to more than the stuff was worth.
Although some of their stuff wasn't that bad. You really had to sort through garbage to find it.
