Why is that question asked?
What if you don't enter a weight?
What if you enter 1 or 999?
Im not a black helicopter type of guy, but I believe very few of us grow vertically during our Fedex careers. Most of us grow horizontally.
I honestly believe the data on age, height and weight would be very informative to any type of medical/insurance actuary.
When the sample size is large, summary data becomes very useful and predictive.
They could just as easily ask you to submit a copy of the ticket. I think we used to have to do that. I think the weight is just a quality control, but who knows.
