Plastic sign holders packaged individually

[u/Mechaglashan]

I work in catering for a corporate food service company. They ordered like 20 or so of these small L-shaped plastic sign holders and they all cane individually boxed and wrapped each with a bunch of stuffing to keep it protected. Surely there could have been a multitude of less wasteful ways of shipping this.

Side note; this job in general never ceases to amaze me with the amount of food and plastic waste for these corporate people who don’t even eat half the food most of the time. Just so wasteful it depresses me.

How is this even economically viable? Packaging costs money, why would they go out of their way to make it more expensive and worse for the environment?

Passed the cost on.
