Wow yeah I was really confused. English is my third language and I can often figure words that I don't know from the context except that in this case I interpreted 'shrinkage' as some kind of a tendency do produce smaller products (electronics get smaller for instance). And I thought ok it seems a large package makes the product more visible on the shelves. Then I thought "ok" actually a large package would be hard to sneak under one's shirt. So it would be good for that as well.

"English is my third language"

I don't think that's the problem - I had no idea what shrinkage is and:

- English is my first language

- I've worked in retail (though I rarely paid attention back then)
