A the discount grocery store I buy the cereal box that is banged up. I’ll open it to verify the bag inside is still air tight, but if the only issue is the cosmetic box itself I don’t care and will buy it. If I don’t, then its possible the beaten up box will be discarded from being non-sold. Increased shrink (retail term for product that doesn’t get sold) will mean prices go up on everything and possibly the workers don’t get raises (or not as big a raise) to cover the loss.
I’m fine with a beaten up box if it means my price stay low and workers get raises.
I’ve been buying the crushed Chaos boxes for MTG cards at my local Walmart this year. These things have probably been sitting in storage forever instead of being sent back but I grab them when I see them. They’ve been real good to me. I pulled a Rhystic Study, Ragavan, Ao the sky dawn, and a Junji the Midnight Sky out of them this summer.

Same with fruit. Who cares if the apple has a brown spot if it gets eaten the same day?
