Not sure if it's changed recently, but at our brand retail store in Portland Oregon, the manager won't let you out of the store if your PAB cup lid touches the rim of the cup, let alone snaps shut! Well, he's not quite that millitant, but he's (...) (17 years ago, 30-May-07, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Here in Chicago they don't insist on filling, but they never object to stacking. My tops rarely close completely, and no one ever says (...) (17 years ago, 30-May-07, to lugnet.market.shopping)

So I kept track of how long it took to pack and then tested to see the volume, count, (...) (17 years ago, 5-Jun-07, to lugnet.market.shopping)

| | | | Here's my experience with a PAB tub at the Bellevue, WA store: Time to pack: 2.75 hours. This included chatting with Neil, Gordon, Soren, and Jon Tatman (because it's not a real visit to the Bellevue store if you don't run into Jon there. . .). My (...)

| | | | Both of you spent almost three hours filling your green tubs. Then, to be able to actually use the pieces you carefully packed, you had to disassemble them all once you got them home. Being cost effective means considering not just the money, but (...) (17 years ago, 13-Jun-07, to lugnet.market.shopping)

If they would have spent the time sitting on their butts watching TV, then they've lost (...) (17 years ago, 13-Jun-07, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Adding 3 sets of 999 (for close to the 3,000 parts that someone quoted) 2x4 bricks shows me (...) (17 years ago, 13-Jun-07, to lugnet.market.shopping)
