You say it saves them money and cuts down on trash, but let's be real, it's mostly a pain for customers. Now I have to store the empty vase and remember to drag it back to the shop, which just adds another errand to my list. What if it gets cracked or dirty, are they still taking it back, or does that cause a fight? This whole thing feels like a way for shops to look good while making us do their work, and I bet lots of folks end up throwing the vases out anyway. So much for cutting down trash if nobody follows through.

Look at you seeing clear for the first time, must be a real shock to the system. Brace yourself for noticing every other tiny flaw you missed before.

That grit can wreck bearings if it's not all out. Seen it happen before. Really messes up the whole setup.
