Corporate america thinking about more profits and screw the consumer. Doing away with another job of the person running a screw to attach the rubber feet. Just bought a new crock pot brand cooker. First time out to a super bowl 50 party put it on the table it teetered back and forth. Discovered one of the four rubber feet was missing. When pulling it out of van hooked on the floor mat and pulled it out. Thankfully found it this time, but bottom line is shouldn't have to wory about them. I did just put in crock pot model number and the rubber feet came right up. So I know that I can get them.
