wow, just...dang. Those are some nasty stories. I've always been afraid of shipping expensive things. I've had to ship my computer up to college and back twice now and I can hardly sleep the entire time its in the mail. Honestly I think the only reason it survives is because it weigh's about 40 pounds and is almost 3 feet square by the time they double box it. The outer box gets torn to hell, but so far the computer has been untouched, thank god.
As far as retail goes, the reason people don't care is because they know they won't get punished for it. If your boss holds the sythe of death over your head you're going to work your ass off, but if he's a lazy SOB then you can bet his underlings arn't going to to anything.
The sad thing is this kind of attitude is getting drummed into kids at a young age now. Teacher's can't fail students when they do poorly because it reflects badly on the teacher and not on the student. When I realized that it really blew my mind and you can bet I stopped working as hard, in HS atleast. College is different because most teachers will fail you in a heartbeat. Doesn't matter to them if you pass or not, you're still paying. And if you fail out the college will just let someone else in to replace you. No skin off their nose.
