You would would have thought that someone in upper management would have stepped up to the plate and fixed this mess already!!!
In fairness, the New Coke debacle involved taking a well-loved product and changing the actual product, making the old one unavailable.

DL's moves are about taking their product and trying to monetize it every way from Sunday. You can still get the product you want, you just have to pay for it.

Doesn't make the changes any more palatable for those that dislike them, but it's a slightly different comparison.

Maybe it's just because I grew up in ATL and remember the horror that New Coke was.
