I worked for a women that owned a flower shop.  She was frustrated by the wasteful practices of some of her employees.  She constantly pulled enough wire from the waste cans every week to make a reel of wire.  The wire was used to bind the flower arrangements together.  Add in similar waste involving other supplies, She figured she was out a $800 per month.
