Workplace rule loophole skit from @tradeshopcc

A staff member in a collectibles store acts out a short skit based on the on-screen text "Staff can only open damaged product." She picks up a trading card pack, deliberately throws it to "damage" it, then kneels on the floor to retrieve it and happily opens the now-damaged pack, successfully circumventing the rule.
