    I’m the reason a single hardware store in a chain of stores has a specific policy. After they mix a can of paint, they offer the hammer to the customer and ask if they want to seal the lid themselves.

      Can you elaborate for us? Did they just not seal it when they handed you paint?

        It’s not exciting.

        I was a customer. The employee didn’t seal the paint can properly, it spilled, caused damage to other things. I made a huge deal about it, ended up escalating to the owner of the store, got store credit for replacing things.

          I had that with coffee and the other things was my balls.

          Thankfully that was merely hot coffee, not burning hot. No demand for store credit to replace my balls was made.

        I’m thinking they worked for the hardware store and bungled the sealing so catastrophically that the higher ups refuse to take any chances on the risk of such calamities reoccurring.
