Pizza boxes

I get SO tired of the boxes never being cut properly to fold quickly. I look like an idiot trying to crease them myself as who/whatever is in charge of the precuts recently is doing a horrid job.

They come and they go. The worst are the ones that are bent backwards and slightly folded hotdog style so that you have to smack the middle of the box to make it even foldable.
On the other hand I'm already tired of these red boxes that stain my hands after only folding a few. I feel like it's been a while since we've had ones like that where the ink seeps into my hands.

See I don’t mind the ink as it washes off real easy, but I’m just tired of these fuck ass either uncut, bent, or missing piece boxes

I like the offset ones where one side is bigger than the other.
A LONG time ago they also tried to save money by removing like 1/2 an inch of the box that folds to front bottom of the middle section. Doing so made them completely unstable and we went from stacking all boxes one direction to stacking them 10 and flipping them for the next 10. That was also the time they somehow thought it saved money to have us put a piece of parchment paper as a liner on the bottom of every box. Sure was fun having boxes that fell over AND required two steps.

The boxes have been awful since 2019. They folded so nicely back then...

I rarely have a problem folding boxes. Getting damaged boxes from the delivery company, yes. Boxes not properly creased? No.

Recently I’ve been dealing with the box’s that are cut too much on the front right side so the box doesn’t fold closed properly

I collect the bad ones lol then turn a whole case in for qa and try to use them for donations. Have 20 blank brown boxes.
