I'm with you all the way – but I would still like to understand how they could get it so wrong.

  Actually, I now know what seemed so weird to me. If they had planned to sell a bag for $x (41 or 41/case_size) retail, but now realized that was per case not per bag, this would have reduced their profitability by a lot or completely killed it. Since there is no mention of this in the story (it was only a bout the size of the order), I'm still believing that they thought their per-bag profit was unchanged by the now larger order (otherwise they would have mentioned it or immediately renegotiated the deal). I guess we'll never know unless we see the order details...
