Will your son be taking over the wheel? Yes. If they do, by your own measure, it will be in part due to providing an efficient, enjoyable, convenient, and reasonably economical route for customers to buy. Your point is well taken. The problem remains the current infrastructure is wrong for the type of business they are in. It does not hurt the customer service but will continue to drag the bottom line down further. An example of the problem, is the leases on all the DCs have yearly incremental increases. They average about 7%. These DCs should never have been built and leased. They are underutilized and quite clearly not needed. Someone has to pay for that for Amazon to turn a profit. They would leave out the economical route. It was bad planning by management. Let's see what the future brings:-)
