I don't completely agree with SA or BT...but...I think the point that it "comes back to the consumer," is not that eventually Cate will be asked to pay out-of-pocket the 40, 50, or 100 dollars that it cost to change the tire. I think the point is that we all, as consumers, end up paying for inefficiencies like this.
The truck-from-Maine-to-Wolfeboro is just an example of big business not always paying attention to details. (LOL...Occupy Wolfeboro or Waterboro!)
