The best part about this: iPad boxes never said which carrier it was locked to. You had to look it up via serial number. Non-Apple sales people didn't seem to understand this and happily sold me an AT&T iPad when I asked for a Verizon iPad.

They actually do, at least for the past couple of years. My past two iPad purchases have been clearly marked "AT&T" right on the label.
I bought my mom a Verizon iPad a couple of years ago. Unfortunately I was actually sold an AT&T iPad. There was no indication either way on the box.
Yep, same here. I have a first gen iPad, a first gen retina display iPad, and a couple of iPad Air now and only the first gen didn't have the carrier on the box, but that's because the first gen was ATT only.
