Picture frames, clock faces etc.
Tony Foale says picture frames, clocks. . .highly likely. Never thought of them; looking around nothing round at home like that.
I think the grommets are just vents, the worker [she?] uses coated gloves nice nonslip grip. Safety glasses would be common elsewhere; glass is thin and light and little stored energy, not too close to face, but still.
That volume is probably going right back on a conveyor to assembly, spaced by rate they're separated from strip.
The cart is scrap, as the barrel fills.
If I had to guess where the disks are used I'd say dollar store picture frames?
looks like he is throwing to his old buddy nub so he can set them in the frames.
My vote would be the next step would be to grind the edge then placed in an oven to soften the glass to allow it to be shaped into a slight dome. I have a clock with a domed shaped glass just about that size. Also the picture frame comment is a good one.
Make a visit to the house of frames and you can find any number of round or oval shaped frames both with flat and domed glass

I agree.
Where are 6" disks of fragile thin glass used in that quantity?[/
