The lack of cleaning in these units before they leave the factory is nothing new, and it certainly has nothing to do with "today's generation."
The 2008 unit we owned previously was the same exact way: sawdust everywhere, particle board punch-outs laying around, broken screws and staples all over, un-used clamps, etc. etc..
You want an eye-opener? Go do a factory tour. I did a tour of a Class C plant. Yikes is all I can say. That place would give someone with OCD a heart attack, not to mention being an osha inspector's field day. I can't see how every single unit made there doesn't come out with leaking tires from all the debris on the floor. It became perfectly clear how the build quality of these items is lacking after seeing the condition of the factory, and the working space these workers created and maintined for themselves.
How does that saying go: "You don't want to see how the sausage is made."
All it would take is a 3-4 minute vacuuming of the unit at a couple of points along the way.
