One kind of something is cheaper to inventory than two kinds of something.

Now that makes sense. I imagine that the cost of anti-static vs regular bags is minuscule when you buy at Digi-Keys volume. Thanks, John :-#)# |

In various places, rather than using common sense and somewhat educated employees, they don't allow any sort of non-ESD-protected items on the production floors any more. Having the sockets delivered in a non-dissipative plastic bag would have some QC lunatics throw a hissy fit and run screaming because they found something (the bag) that was (allegedly) compromising the ESD safety of the factory :) |

Not really. Drive-up ATMs have Braille because it is not uncommon for a blind person to take a cab or have a friend drive them to the bank and use the ATM from the back seat or get out and walk to the drive-up ATM while their friend monitors them for safety. The National Federation of the Blind insisted that ALL ATMs provide a means for use by blind people. |
