After many years of pulling out bent staples and then stapling a second or third time, we decided to invest in a new stapler. We found a good sturdy one on Amazon that came with a box of staples. Good ole Amazon Prime brought our stapler the next day, but the staples were not in the box. Three days later the staples arrived.

As you can see in the picture, the box is just a little bit big for the staples. This brings up a few questions.

Was the Amazon staffer properly trained on using the smallest boxes to safely package orders?
Did the Amazon staffer care?
Did Amazon run out of smaller boxes?
Is inflation real or is it being caused by employee waste?
