Uuugggghhhhh Yes!

Although I did have someone drop a gallon, it cracked... they put tape on it and carefully put it in the trash with the cut side up.... it get covered with more trash. Go to take the bag out, it it pretty heavy and has 8 inches of liquid at the bottom.

There was a lot of cursing that night and thankfully that brain trust did not last long.

When I was in restaurants some of the take out containers would always have a defect so that they weren't the best for customers (or if they just got dropped on the floor while stocking). We marked these (red sharpie up all side of a stack -10 seconds) and kept these near the big trash cans. We trained everyone to dump broken glass or metal into these and seal before dropping in a bag.

Same goal achieved.

Seems like this would work for the first layer, but then after a few inches, sharp trash would be just as likely to go to the sides if the bag.

So no one ever buys the hardback versions and feels exactly like you do and wants to keep their sets looking similar?

Hardback are more profit and sturdy/lasting. There are a large number of people who want books as soon as they come out, desire first editions etc and will pay the premium. You choose not to.... but you are not the main character in the publishing world.

>I don't understand why publishers do this.

Really? Perhaps a book on critical thinking should be your next trade paperback purchase.

Look I support what you are saying... but your last two sentences just set you up as an ignorant jerk just trying to stir the pot.

Maybe try elevating the conversation and if your opponent looks stupid because they can't keep up, fine.

But you sound like a little child screaming I'm right I'm right until people walk away in annoyance and then declaring you won.

Grow up and then come back and have an intelligent conversation. Or troll away... your choice.
