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.

Ah, I didn’t think that disposable ones would exist!

They still do exist. You can buy them at just about any store in the US. Mine are fifty year old Tupperware salt and pepper shakers. They may outlast the universe.
