Kachingpdx1, it's his job to complain and by doing so, divert attention from positive to negative. I've been in high-volume labs and the idea that a company can supply a single package of up to 50 plates is brilliant. The most I've seen in a single package of filled plates is 20. The concept of 50 in a package means that opening ONE package where a lab uses thousands of plates per day will reduce the labor by 40-75% of what's currently used for that number of plates. Elsie wants to compare it with packs of Coke? Ok, let's do that --- at a Cubs game suppose the vendors sold cans instead of fountain drinks. How much labor is required to continuously open 6-packs instead of cases. Nuff said to the morons who are dedicated to the negative.
