Some of them were scratched about halfway through the glass,
in a single long streak. If it was always one customer doing it, I
could assume a royal idiot, but these came from multiple businesses.
I don't know how they gouged it so deeply, without breaking
the tube entirely. They just wanted them replaced because the
scratch made it hard to read in that area. It's not something I'd
like to have sitting a few feet from by face anyway.
