Creative meth makers set up underground in Buffalo NY suburbs, http://live.buffalonews.com/2016/08/09/see-inside-the-subterranean-entrance-to-the-amherst-meth-lab/
It had to be one of the oddest crime scenes in recent memory: a subterranean drug lab, 12 feet underneath a Walmart parking lot at Sheridan Drive and Bailey Avenue in Amherst, that was being used to cook methamphetamine.
As cars whizzed by on Sheridan, one of the busiest thoroughfares in the region, and shoppers pulled in and out of the sprawling lot to stock up on groceries and other necessities of daily life, police say someone had set up a rather elaborate meth lab.
The photos show the sewer entrance with stagnant water at the end of a concrete tunnel, perhaps 10 feet wide, 4 feet high. Another shot inside shows the ceiling about 6 feet (1.8m) high. Pallets were dragged into the sewer to keep the "lab" above the small amount of water on the floor. With record-setting drought in the Buffalo area, there hasn't been any chance of a storm surge.

You know those blue pallets aren't cheap. They are like $500-1000 apiece! Is meth that much money?
I'm not sure what the exact arrangement for using them is that places like Sam's Club have - its something like they lease X number a year, and ship out damaged/extra ones to get replaced by fresh ones periodically to keep them near their target number.

Because I'm sure the methheads bought them, sure...

They learned from Breaking Bad that you need to buy the plastic one or bad things happen.
