The Power Of Plastic

What do you do if you're a supermarket and don't want to spend money on getting someone out to fix a column? You get an employee to wrap it in saran wrap obviously. It looks like someone might have rammed into this column with their car or something, which left the bottom portion falling apart, but it's actually kind of surprising that the plastic wrap is holding everything in place.

Even if these columns aren't actually load-bearing, bricks are still pretty heavy and you wouldn't think the plastic alone would be enough to hold them where they are. They probably should have also put up a couple of warning signs telling people to stay away.
