Either I'm Just Terribly Unlucky Or...

It seems no matter what I buy, quality & consistency standards have slipped across the board at many of the largest manufacturers on this planet. Even buying something as simple as 4 pairs of jeans becomes a hassle. Order all the same size, get only one pair that fits.

Being able to trust that you'll get the same product of the same quality every time you buy it is a hallmark of the most successful businesses. If businesses or manufacturers start letting that slip, well, there's always someone out there just waiting for their chance to "take a shot at the king"
