Just ask the New York Yankees what it’s like to promise 28,000 fans a Mariano Rivera souvenir bobblehead doll, but then have that same truckload freight shipment go missing when the gates are opened. Yes, that is what you call a logistics nightmare, not to mention a bad customer experience in the making. If you heard this story, you may recall that the shipment of bobbleheads fi nally showed up at the game, but at that point the damage was already done.
