Want some more fries, chunky?

Have you tried maybe shopping at a store that's for bigger people?
They have torrid out for girls now, the big and tall store, and if you're emo as hell Hot Topic works AND they sell clothes for bigger people.

But honestly? I've never heard of a company charging extra for larger sizes. I work in retail, and all of our clothes are a set price. It doesn't matter if it's XS or XXXXL, the item is still the same price.

Might be where you live, too. Maybe.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I don't even know, maybe you're really kidding. This ''businesses discriminate against me because 25% of my body is lard'' idea is ridiculous. Have you heard of supply and demand?

I'd like to know where he/she is shopping anyway. As I said before, I've never seen or heard of a company charging more for different sizes. But I'm not against the idea.

It's funny how people make excuses for their problems.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Logically, wouldn't small shirts cost less than medium shirts, with this same logic? They don't though, they only increase the prices, for larger shirts.

There is a valid point on the issue of materials, but there is a bias here, like it or not. (Or perhaps just greediness, but both points suck)

No, because most retail stores sell products based on demand.
In my store, we tend to have more XS-S sizes than large or XL because we don't get a lot of fatties in there. It's supply and demand.

Realistically, not that many people are as big as you are, and it takes a lot more fabric and time to make these clothes for you.

Either lose weight, find another store, or stick with paying the extra dough and shut up about it.

I could easily bitch about how stores overcharge me because I'm a size Small. Why should I have to pay the same price as some lardo? :aargh:

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Seems to me that would be the opposite of what you're describing.

What store are you talking about anyway? Something like American Eagle or Hollister (with their homoerotic models)? You're right, overweight people don't shop there, because if we really wanted to look trendy, we wouldn't spend $100 on clothes, we'd just lose weight.

Also, lol that hollister.com deals with incontinence supplies.

Uh, no. Just because a majority of people wear smaller sizes doesn't mean they're short. It means they're not fat.
Where do YOU live? If it's texas, I guess I can understand, since it's the fattest (or one of the fattest, i forget) states.

I'm talking about stores in general.
And besides, fat people can't be trendy. I think it's funny when fat people walk around the mall and diss on the "trendy" stores like AF and shit. Just because you can't fit into the clothes doesn't mean it's a shitty store.
No, I wouldn't pay 100 dollars for jeans either, but I don't see the point in having a grudge against a store just because the people that shop there are thin.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I've seen fat chicks walk into those kinds of stores and literally bitch because they don't make sizes large enough for their fat ass.
That's actually the biggest complaint I hear about "those stores".
Generally it's some overweight tubby who's jealous because the skinny girl gets all the attention and can shop in those kinds of places.

The only stores out of the mainstream that have predjudice hiring practices are AF and Hollister, that I know of. And it's not really racist. It just happens that there aren't a lot of black or diversified people that shop at Abercrombie.
And AF and Hollister don't discriminate against race. However, I do know a friend of a friend who applied to Hollister and they flat out told her she wasn't pretty enough to work there.

That, I think is retarded.

But other mainstream stores like American Eagle and Pacsun have more variety as far as employees go.

I was speaking idiomatically.
