Most of the fail to understand that people like to board in groups based on association. eg, families like to board together. That mucks it all up.

When we do board, please pick up a sack lunch from the cart near the ramp. people: 50% started forming a line near the ramp. 30% remained standing. announcement: Please remain seated. We will start boarding in about 15 minutes. As you board the plane, please take a sack lunch from the cart near the door. Thank you. people: Most looked around uncertainly and slowly sat down.
