You might if it puts tackle prices up!
Or makes faulty returns harder and other items harder to get hold of.

I've been to a lot of airports but I cant fly a plane.
Trust me, based on what you wrote and your further post regarding returns and increased prices tells me you know little about the overall running's of the fishing industry, were you the maggot boy?
Anyway who cares?

where does your knowledge of the industry come from? you use a fake name so we can't really fact check but I doubt someone with your attitude would last long in a tackle shop, staff or customer to be honest.

Increasing supply chain efficiency would put tackle prices down in theory, not up.

Incorrect it would put the cost down not the sale price.
They are not the same thing, although i can see your logic that if you reduce cost you could reduce price.
However most companies will keep that gain for themselves, and usually a lot of big companies actual budget against it. Generally known as value engineering

Not necessarily.
If instead of buying direct from Mainline at cost, the tackle shop had to go through the middleman or wholesaler, the buying price could well be more expensive.
Just as an example, bought direct from Mainline at £5.50 per kilo, yet that is the price the wholesaler pays, so they sell at £7.50 per kilo to the tackle shop.
The tackle shop then can't afford to sell to the public at £9.99 per kilo, and bait may have to go up to £11.50.
Prices Used as an example as retail prices are sometimes worked out as purchase price ÷2 ×3 = selling price.
So bought at £5.50, sold at £8.25.
Basic as you have to add VAT, but gives an idea.
You may improve supply chain efficiency by the wholesaler buying guaranteed amounts every week, and always having stock ready for despatch, and having a ready made distributor, either delivering themselves or a guaranteed carrier.
I used County as an example, they do weekly deliveries themselves around Essex and up into Suffolk.
As for what I did in the tackle shop, what do I know, only placed orders as well as customer service and sales
That also included returns, which did occasionally include bait that was not right, badly or not properly rolled, or occasionally had been delivered incorrectly.
