i think the reason they don't see frustration free versions at target and walmart is they are probably using the same products in online retail they would ship to local stores. So having two product sets cuts down on their efficiency/economies of scale. I wish all products on amazon were frustration free packaging. There was a story a while back about the guy who invented/worked on the clamshell packaging getting frustrated, quitting, and starting a company that sold a special knife to open those packages. fwiw
