The bottom line here is that a cheap cloth measuring tape costs less than $1. The crowd lugging steamer trunks on know full well what they are doing.
Brilliant strategy that wont work. Youd fit right in with Doug Parker and Smisek cluelessly wondering why your metrics arent working and profits and tanking.
