Maybe bring up your concern in store? Perhaps they could find you a sealed copy. If others share the same sentiment, perhaps they will change the way they handle it.
I dont know why stores dont just have cards on the shelves instead of actual cases. Then it's easy to have many "stocked" and the customer can be handed a sealed copy.
Then you should order online, so they come shipped in original packaging.
Buying games from stores has always been like this. For discs they would usually give you a full copy and just put the display case you hand them back, but for little cards, I guess they just chose to put it back in at purchase.
And as others say, it was probably new and just tested at factory as part of QA.
It's never coming back down.
strange thing to waste time on
Maybe we just stop this shit? Lets at least expend fuel on launching useful science satellites and telescopes, instead of for-profit projects for billionaires.

For a reasonable price and good reviews, this could be my next printer.
Surely it needs more in favor to pass? Ugh I need to reducate myself on this system
For the cost of these satellites, we could have full connectivity across the world with land based infrastructure, which would last longer, be easier and cheaper to maintain and recyclable at end-of-life. LEO internet should have been made illegal the moment it was conceived.
Sure, in the grand scheme of things, but per user, not getting $70 from me costs them more.
5-25% of car crashes come from distracted drivers huh? How about you provide good viable alternatives to driving? That's how you best solve road deaths. More trains, trams, buses and cycling routes.
Nice one!!
