An employee of the return center opened the box and to her surprise, found Galena safe and sound.

The employee could have had a worse day...

Ok... I have a serious question. Why is there an XKCD for the weirdest possible reality?

I already practice extreme paranoia with my furballs due to one of them sneaking into the reusable shopping bags and making it almost all the way to the car before I noticed my 8 year old seemed to be having trouble with what should have been empty bags.

Galena hopped inside a package full of products they were returning to Amazon.

How much are they returning that they could lose a cat amongst it all?

Do they think that Amazon is a rental service?

There are Amazon products intended to be sent back, like try before you buy. Or half the cheap junk you end up with instead of what you actually ordered.

Even a standard shoe company expects at least half the pairs to be returned, it’s just part of how online shopping for something that needs to fit works.

(I’m not supporting the model, is wasteful af, just saying, they could just be doing normal rural shopping.)
