      Apparently it’s a semi common thing for jewelry store workers to do.

        I’m guessing the gloves are to avoid getting oils onto the metal, so there’s no particular reason not to also wear jewellery over then.

    So like… who at LG thought that was an efficient use of resources…? That seems a liiiiiitle bit wasteful.

    Why would you reveal this with a video? Like…this is literally free money for the taking.

      The people who made out like bandits during the 1849 gold rush sold panning equipment and shovels. This is the modern version of that.

        Probably make more in clicks and adds than they can make buying and scraping a very limited amount of probably-not-actually-pure gold.

        Certainly less work.

        (Edit: this is the irregular reminder to crack addicts and meth heads- flocke cameras have copper you can sell.)
