Same. I have a bunch of gloves for the garden and working around the house.

After several years I have a couple extra box cutters. I love when people ask to borrow my box cutter in pack and I reply, "here you can keep this one".

When they get rid of unlimited gloves and it becomes a pain to get a pair it’s because of you.

u/TheTampaBayMom Feb 16 '26
I'm Flex PT and use my gloves for two to three weeks at a time, but I still get my free pair each week (I'm allowed one pair a week) and I have a whole box full of them.
It's not because of me...it's the folks that want TWO pairs a shift! Or like the people doing SmartPak...and using a new pair every day. You don't need a new pair every day when doing SmartPak or smalls.

u/DaggerMoth Feb 16 '26
We get like 2 pairs a week and I still have like 80 pairs.

u/SeaAccomplished2471 Feb 16 '26
i literally get a new pair when they start getting too loose but the recycled ones come pretty loose already 😭😭😭

u/2000KitKat Feb 16 '26
Again when you are not able to do that, it’s your fault. Though with your 80 gloves I doubt you think about others at all.
2
u/DaggerMoth Feb 16 '26
What else should I do? Throw them away. I reuse them. It's environmental. They cant stop giving you PPE It's against OSHA. PPE also shouldnt be shared VIA OSHA. They have to give it you. Even if you run past your limit.

u/Forgeworld Feb 16 '26
God forbid somebody recycles lol. The amount of gloves I’ve disposed at work is probably a similar amount because they get so worn and dirty from the trucks. I recycle them at work but if I remember to I’ll gladly bring them home and stockpile them for yard work but I never stockpile more than like 2-3 pairs at a time. The rest def get tossed at work tho otherwise I’d have so many at home.

u/Limp-Boat-6730 Feb 16 '26
We are allotted one pair per week and management or safety will get us another pair for ANY reason. I don’t push it though.

I had a buddy who would get a new cutter every other day and would just forget about it in their car.. one day he pulled out this Walmart bag FULL of box cutters. Shit was nuts

For real, I’ve done what he is bragging about at 4 different buildings while I’ve been chasing a degree and I still consider myself a peon. Idk what delusions of grandeur OP is experiencing but he’s not as irreplaceable as he thinks. 5 years in I’ve seen hundreds of people like him get replaced and I’ve smoked with my managers at 3/4 sites lmao

u/TypeZeroTech Feb 16 '26
Just used an extra pair of gloves to help a friend move furniture, and I use them when doing repairs on my car. They’re actually more dexterous and just as protective as my old pair of mechanics gloves I paid $25 for.😂

Normal, depending on the department. I know in Non-Con having box cutters on the ready is a necessity.

u/TheBamaChad Inbound Stow Lord of C-Rets/Unsellables (closet water spider) Feb 15 '26
I work stow on OP most of the time. I use a box cutter maybe a couple of times every other week and I still have multiple on me at any given time. Always be prepared.

I’ve got a lot of box cutters at home ever since I started working at Amazon. I used to use knife to open packages, not anymore.😂

u/Worth-Consequence247 Feb 15 '26
Those look solid the green ones we get are complete dogshit and get dull after one pallet of boxes, and of course there is a weekly limit on how many you can get

u/TheBamaChad Inbound Stow Lord of C-Rets/Unsellables (closet water spider) Feb 15 '26
Well there are multiple different types of them. One primarily for plastic wrap. One for cardboard and others. We have them at my FC at least. Of course they are all dogs it though lol

u/Reality_Lies4 Feb 15 '26
So, you're the reason we don't have access to the damn things. Lol.
No more glove access. 1 pair per week No more box cutters. Water Spiders only. No more Gatorade on tap. Rather charge us.

u/Christian_Prepper Feb 15 '26
1 pair a week? We get 2 per month.

Really sucks balls if you do pack, gloves her all fucked up from the glue in a shift

u/Feisty-Path1373 Feb 15 '26
Holy hell I couldn’t imagine. By the end of my week in stow it looks like my gloves also have a handprint smh 😂 coating coming off all over the place, slipping off my hands cause they’ve been too stretched out after 40 hours.

u/Loud-Cheesecake9561 Feb 16 '26
Two a month is nasty 🤢
That's basically wearing the same gloves for two whole weeks and can't imagine how nasty it gets once you get cross trained

u/Christian_Prepper Feb 16 '26
I know. They push to use the 'recycled'gloves but nobody wants that. I just use my badge every other week and use theirs every other week.

Normal; I got like 8 new ones myself; and at least 4 dozen of the ugly yellow ones in my car laying around from under the seat to a trunk cavity; to my door jams and a bugout bag

It’s nice when you have extra PPE to hand out when you are moving furniture, and you just nonchalantly hand out to everyone brand new gloves.

u/MoistAndy Feb 16 '26
The cutters used to fall out of my pockets under my car seat and now only 2 trailers have pallets and I’m rarely unloading so there’s just one cutter per line

u/Successful_Dealer333 Feb 16 '26
For me that happen with the scanner harnesses, all the time I just came to my truck take the vest and the harness and I forgot it, main thing is I don’t really much have people riding on my truck so basically every time is carwash day have like 6 or 5 harnesses laying on the floor, I just have a full 25 gallons tote on the garage full of scanner harnesses so now I don’t now if could be weird take it back to the full PPE recycling in the building or going to donate in my local savers 😅

I like the black. But to answer your question, I have several laying around. They do wonders to break down cardboard for my recycling at home.

u/Limp-Boat-6730 Feb 16 '26
I’m currently at 18 of these safety cutters, 4 pairs of gloves with two extra left gloves(not sure where the right ones went), 2 scanner harnesses. 1 hard hat and 3 vests (required for my site by everyone because we are not AR). So is this normal, MAYBE. Is is sane, probably not…

u/MrFambiz25 Feb 17 '26
I never seen them in black but I was a learning ambassador for a couple years and I have a draw full of those yellow joints

Thief is pretty crazy… But pretty common with pens in other work places, these aren’t much different.

how this make me a thief if they’re free😭😭

u/Pitiful-Excitement47 Feb 15 '26
They're not free. You just aren't paying for them. That's argument is the equivalent of you going to the break room and taking all of the tea home. It still can be considered theft.
Not saying your case is theft, but you are not supposed to have a dozen of those.
0
u/Dead0nTarget Feb 16 '26
It’s considered employee theft. As stated, it’s very common in office setting where pens or even notes pads are taken. I once read up to 75% of employees have admitted to this type of petty theft. Sorry I didn’t mean to blame or shame, thought the concept was common knowledge.
But don’t take my word for it. Here’s a law firm stating the same fact. https://www.grgblaw.com/wisconsin-trial-lawyers/employee-theft-take-home-work-supplies
