Just put less chicken in the box! And I used up my reward to get a 2$ small popcorn chicken.

    You know what’s mildly infuriating? That OP mentions the box issue and that it could be solved by putting less nuggets in a larger sized box, yet people still comment saying they ran out of boxes.

      My understanding is that companies rarely track inventory per piece directly, since it’s much easier to track box/package size as dictated by their distribution standards.

      So if a company runs out of small boxes, they can’t just undersize the amounts in a medium box without totally screwing up their inventory management, because their inventory management expects a certain amount in those medium boxes.

      Nah, that’s just anticipating customer rage. When I worked in restaurants I learned very early on that it’s better to put things in a smaller container, and put the overflow into a separate container, rather than try to give them a little extra in the next size container that doesn’t get filled up.

      It’s the meme with the kid failing to understand that the amount doesn’t change just because the container changes. Only with angry adults who want their money back.
