Dissatisfied Customer Expresses Dismay Towards Landers for Using Reused Boxes
A dissatisfied customer recently called out Landers, a well-known membership shopping store, for using reused boxes to pack his groceries.
Supermarkets often use reused boxes for packing customers’ groceries for several practical reasons, primarily focused on sustainability, cost-efficiency, and convenience. Reusing boxes helps reduce the need for single-use plastic bags or new packaging materials, which supports eco-friendly practices and minimizes waste.
This not only helps lower the supermarket’s carbon footprint but also reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.
From a cost perspective, using new packaging materials can be expensive. By repurposing boxes that are already available from product deliveries, supermarkets can save money, allowing them to offer competitive prices to customers.
This practice is especially common in bulk and wholesale stores, where large quantities of items are sold, making boxes a convenient solution for packing.
Recently, Lourdramos0, a TikTok user, shared a video expressing his frustration with the store’s packaging practices. The post immediately spread like wildfire on social media and garnered various reactions from the online community.

In the video, the customer showed his grocery haul from Landers, but his discontent was clear as he showed the reused and patched-up cardboard boxes used for his items. He voiced his displeasure, pointing out that despite paying for a membership fee, the store still opted for reused boxes instead of more presentable packaging.
Some people echoed his concern, while others saw no issue with the store’s practice. Some commenters even mentioned that Landers has been using reused boxes for as long as they can remember and defended the approach as a more environmentally friendly alternative to single-use plastic bags.
Others humorously pointed out that if a customers can afford to shop at Landers, they should also be able to invest in reusable eco-bags, which the store also offers.
