Ways to make non tiny women feel unwelcome. Have a large display in the front with dozens of pairs of the most attractive tights. Stack them in a large pile so you can only find sizes by going through and checking the tag on each one. Those of us who are not medium, small, extra small, or extra extra small are used to checking the ones on the bottom for the non tiny sizes. I did that on each stack and there was nothing larger than medium in any of the stacks except for one pile in basic black. when I asked if they had any more sizes in the back they said they didn't think so. Then thought about it and guessed maybe they hadn't been sent anything larger than medium in the non black colors. I have a hard time believing this is true. Because companies don't want their tights worn by anyone larger than M? because they think there are few such women (the average woman is a size 12)? Because companies or buyers are making a judgment women larger than M should not wear anything other than basic black? Patagonia, one of the brands prominently displayed, makes the tights in L and XL as well as S and M. Is it the company or the local buyer who decided not to get anything larger than Medium in anything but black? Or is it the people doing the display who decided it was ok to put everything out in front in Medium sizes or smaller except for basic black? In any case the whole set up was designed to not serve women bigger than M. which is a lot of us. I hated that there was nothing that would fit me in other than basic black, that they had made a big front display with hundreds of things in it that had only one piece of clothing I could find that was an L, that I had to ask for sizes larger than M, that they were completely unhelpful, and they strongly implied the buyer or the company would not provide anything in non-black in an L. it actually felt a little bit like they were shaming me for being an L by the end. There was one nice more athletic type of worker woman who came in at the end and heroically tried to help but otherwise it felt like sorority girls disgusted at anyone being bigger than an M were running things. And there was nothing for me to buy. They did have some L and XL tops scattered in here and there but overall it's a land of XS, S, and M without apologies. read more
