Cutting board next to stove.

The board is out all of the time.
 
Second, you can either use something like a dough scraper....or if you're using a pan with a long handle just hold it in front of the board and swipe stuff in.

What if, and I’m just spitballing here, you could use some kind of device that combines an edge for cutting and a broad, flat, dare I say, rectangular, surface for scooping?
 
Am really not a fan of the cheap disposable stuff like deli cups. Can understand why they make sense in a restaurant setting but at home I prefer to cut down on as much of the unnecessary waste as I can.
You might be missing the point on deli cups.
The idea is to wash and reuse them over and over.
The good ones are well made and last for years.
You can use them to save any unused mise or leftovers.
They're really just free Tupperware that stack efficiently.
There is a reason those that know swear by them.

Since I adopted deli containers there is zero doubt I've saved many more fold in plastic than could ever be used to make the containers. Not only did they drastically slash our household use of bags but they completely eliminated all of that mis-matched and crappy plasticware. The deli containers last so much longer and the lids fit all the sizes.

I would never use glass or metal as much as I do the deli containers. Our fridge probably has eight or ten in there right now.

And at home I never buy them. I get them for "free" every time I get takeout or take leftovers home from restaurants. So the option is either rinse them and recycle them. Or reuse them several times until they break or warp and then rinse and recycle them.

Exactly! Whole Foods give away the HW brand that last forever and can be sanitized in the dishwasher.
That’s why I described them as “free” Tupperware.

My unpopular opinion?

It’s not worth shopping at Whole Foods to get “free” high quality deli containers

Better to shop local in stores that sell less packaged foods and buy your own food storage system
 
I would like to find glass deli cups w lids
A thousand times this. Because I'm all onboard with the easy stackability and all that. But longterm usage of any plastics always left me dissapointed (takes on colors, odors, etc... deteriorating over time). Then on top of that there's long term health concerns. But the glass containers have none of that.
And yes, I already wash and reuse most of the glass jars from the store. But they do miss that ease of stacking.
