ok ill try and make this as short as possible. I always go to this 2nd hand store that sells really good clothes name brand and all. he just started accepting walk ins to sell your clothes for cash. so being a little tight on money since my husband lost his job.... I cleared my closet and on my way to the store I went lol....I had clothes from all sizes..8-13. mostly jeans barley worn. some even with tags on them. I facebooked the owner since he knows me from going to the his store so much and we r friends on facebook. when I get there with a suitcase full of over 30 pairs of pants and like 40 shirts and dresses and about 8 pairs of shoes all extras I had laying around in my closet, they tell me to give them 15 mins. so I browse try on some clothes I was going to buy. they call me to go to the front. she says hes going to explain how this works...I thought hmm ok.... HERES WHERE IT GETS GOOD...... he says I will pay you $10 for all of these shoes and $10 for about 8 shirts ....I looked at him and said well what about the jeans and the rest of the stuff he says well....unfortunately we cannot accept them because we don't have people of your size that shop at our store...I looked at him and said excuse me....I shop here and u know that. he said yea and honestly I wouldn't be buying these shirts from u but because I need larger and bigger sizes in my store I decided to buy them but honeslty ppl your size don't shop here and I don'cuz have room for bigger clothes. I was like wooowwwww....I was insulted I said well funny cuz the sirts are all meds and large and the jeans are mostly size 9...he said my point exactly....I said u can keep ur $20 and I grabbed my stuff and just walked out the store I left whatever I was going to buy on the counter. he was soo rude and I dunno why treat overweight people so rude...I got in my car and drove home and just cried....then as im walking towards my house a man stops me and says...hey I just want to tell you are a beautiful woman. I said thank you and then realized the problem wasn't me....its was the jerk at the store..i have enclosed a pic of a dress t

    E- Bay..Great place to get what you want for your clothes, and to find clothes. Just a suggestion. hope it helps. Also you can form a local group where you live on Facebook for selling stuff. Making you own rules for the group.

    I'm so sorry that happened to you, that guy sounds like a jerk and I don't think sizes 8-13 are that big! Isn't that an average size range for most people? :noway:

    Clueless that the reason they don't shop there is because he doesn't have anything in their size.

    If it was me I would have been put in jail for assault. But that's just me. He was a rude jerk. I would so love to be a size 8 or even an 18 for that matter.

    And to the guy that complimented you what a sweetheart!!

    Close-minded because he doesn't want to sell a certain size of clothing? Is he close-minded because he doesn't sell men's clothing? OH MY GOD, WHERE ARE MEN GOING TO FIND CLOTHING IF HE DOESN'T SELL MEN'S CLOTHING?! Is a retailer close-minded if he doesn't sell ski jackets in Arizona? WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT WANT SKI COATS IN 100 DEGREE WEATHER?!

    Carrying more sizes (or styles or types of clothing, for that matter) requires more space and inventory -- which means more expenses. It's impossible for retailers to cater to everyone. As such, they must decide what they are going to sell, according to their ability to invest and the expected return on their investment.

    Y'all do realize that most businesses don't have unlimited resources, and cannot cater to every desire of every consumer, right?

    Granted, he could have just said that he wasn't interested in that set of clothing, and not volunteered the reason, but it's his choice what he buys and stocks in his store. It's also your choice whether you shop there or not.

    Why? Is it a children's clothing shop? Who shops there? Skeletons? People as narrow as his mind?

    His loss.

    Well, I'm sorry this happened to you, but it seems you put the guy on the spot. If he doesn't carry those sizes, he doesn't want to buy them. Yes, he may be losing out on customers, but he wasn't being intentionally being mean.

    Glad that the stranger gave you a compliment when you needed one.

    I agree with this post 100%. He should not have been rude but that is the way the world works.

    By your logic, one could say about Big & Tall shops: "Why? Who shops there? Fat lards?"

    Every store doesn't have to cater to everyone. Get over it.
