[USMA:23222] It takes a lot of little changes

[John Nichols]

Dear Albertsons:

You are now selling the 4 litre milk containers that have been around since Mel Gibson was in Lethal Weapon (see the milk container in the shot of his refrigerator) yet it still has the bulge in the side that changes it to one gallon aka 3.79 litres. I object to paying for the plastic for 4 litres, the transport for 4 litres of volume and the thought that I am incapable making a rational decision to shop in metric.

I use this example in my teaching to classes of 300 undergraduates at Texas A&M University. Most had no idea of the issue.

Your advice on when you will sell the amount of milk the container was designed for would be appreciated.

I shop at your store and no where else.

Thanks for listening
