My LGS reseals?

I didn't really think this post fit into the other categories, so I put it here. I have two local game stores, one of which focuses on MTG a good amount more. I have bought countless booster packs there, but none have any mythics or any cards over $2. Another thing, in every pack I have ever bought from there, there is a tiny slit at the bottom of the pack. I'm not sure if this is a way of resealing the cards, or just making them easier to open, but you can never be too careful. The reason I asked this is because I am thinking of buying a booster box from them, and I don't want to get all trash cards.
I've seen that slit in a variety of packs from LGS, big box stores, and online orders... I'm not sure it (by itself) is enough to warrant concern. Then again, I could certainly be wrong about that.

ork_mcgork yeah, I was thinking of doing that. If they hesitate, it will definitely make me hesitant to go there again.

With the EVO now being so low this is what stores have to do just to survive.
And that WotC shrink-wrap can be faked...just sayin'
I only buy singles ;)

TypicalTimmy I forgot all about that feature! I am 100% doing this.

Well, an easy way to tell if they reseal booster boxes is if they try to sell you one that doesn't have the official WotC shrink wrap. If it doesn't have that, it's highly likely to have been mapped and/or repacked.
I'd also ask them about the slit thing. if they act cagey about it, then don't buy boosters from them anymore.
