What industry secret are you aware of that most people aren't?
  • I don't agree with the can example. Those are physically smaller and lack meaningful slack fill.

    Your points stand for the first purchase. After that people will know the proportion of chip to air, and be annoyed by it. If they could do a bag smaller with minimal chip breakage and less air they would both succeed at getting more bags out per pallet and be lauded for not cheating people by selling air.

    The slack fill is functional, and I don't see much incentive to over do it.

  • What is the company's incentive to make the package bigger than it needs to be?

    Shipping costs come two fold... Weight and number of pallets. Weight change is negligible here, but the amount of air they need to ship will increase. They are incentivized to reduce it to a minimum to save on shelf, storage, and distribution costs.

  • I'm also wondering what the ROI is on automation costs and maintenance thereafter versus paying a conductor to just drive the thing.

    In Copenhagen, the metro is fully automated and there are discussions of doing the same with the commuter rail (all grade separated). I think the more interesting benefit to the commuter rail is they will run closer together in time and run more frequently at night (every 10 vs 20 or 30 minutes)... But I don't think the financials would ever really pay for the upgrades needed...
