what you decide you don't want to keep,
and close the box securely again.

Not if removing the original label sees the
packaging labelled with the return address.

where only the pod can get it because only
the pod has the keycode required to get it.

stocked with all the stuff you sell, with individuals
who ensure that anyone who wants to steal the
goods can't just try them on and leave the
store wearing them instead of paying for them.
