But isn't that a very, very small percentage of customers?

While I think UA should have a small amount for purchase onboard, so small it would sell out 99% of the time, and UA is leaving money on the table not too, the purpose of this pre-order is to minimize waste from unpurchased fresh items. So having items available onboard will led to some waste.
