    Why did he need more than 1 or 2 pairs of salt and pepper shakers though? Why did Mcdonalds need to replace them every month instead of refilling them?

      I’m going to take a guess that throwing away little cheap plastic shakers each month costs less than paying a person to clean and refill them.

      So into the landfill they flow!

      iirc, they were those plastic shakers that didn’t actually have a way to get into them - nothing to unscrew to refill it. They were designed to be used until empty, then discarded and replaced.
