the parts, I wasn't buying ordinary bricks- but I did a lot of tapping and
filling. Topped off each cup to fill the stud in the lid. And none of the
lids would snap on and stay, but all three were close (they had a big roll
of tape at the register, I guess it's a common situation).

The one time I've bought from PAB, I did manage to get both cups (one of each
size) shut to where the lids would stay snapped in place, even after going so
far as to stack a small pile in the center to fill the stud.  They taped both of
them shut anyways.  My guess is that they're concerned about the customers
possibly dropping them on the way out of the store/mall.  Those lids will not
stay attached when dropped with a full load, and a large cup will probably send
parts flying over a few dozen square feet minimum.

(...) I had a large cup fall to the ground while the employee was taping it shut. Yes, the pieces flew everywhere. Fortunately, they didn't make me pack the cup again... :) -Bryan (17 years ago, 30-May-07, to lugnet.market.shopping)
