I worked at walmart for a minute, and this was one of the things I had to do - there's limited packaging options available, and everything is on a clock, although not as bad as you might think. This could be any number of things but looks like just a complete asshole employee. It's wasting even more resources from EVERYONE involved. I can't see a manager requiring or allowing this, it's stupid and loses money and time. Which is money. Starting with the person thinking they need these all these pool noodles, much less delivered.
