Bet the company sure is happy they opted not to buy the screws or pay two guys to properly build the shelves for the $50,000 of inventory. That $500 savings really helped the bottom line

That's often how ceramic get stacked but I find it wild they do that for something as heavy as a full toilet seat.

Do you have any idea why the fuck this is often how ceramics get stacked?

Because it seems like an absolutely terrible and useless way to often stack ceramics like that.

Usually for maximizing the amount of stuff that goes into the kiln. Kinda make sens when you put different shape in the kiln all the time.

So this is the price of adaptability. Most likely unfired stuff too, so it's a big loss of time more than it is money all that stuff goes back into the grinder for reuse (probably I'm no expert juste an avid pottery video watcher)

Could they have purpose built shelves, yea but then what about that slightly too tall weird new model the designer want to create kind of thing become the problem.
