I've worked on assembly lines before as have some of you. After years of doing the same thing didn't you become a bit numb to it all?
But if another company took the time to do this, they may sell more units than a sloppy company.. Think 1970s GM..if it costs more, charge me.. one place I worked at had employees moving to different jobs in the plant.. Made it much less boring.if it cost you say 50 more, would you pay it to have nicely ran wiring, clean plumbing lines, and a schematic of all systems?..quality keeps on giving..
