    Sure, he has the right to not sell anything over a size 6. But you realize that excludes 90% of adult human females?
    Is this a real statistic? Or a "just guessin'" statistic?
    Good point. You know, "just guessin" stats only fly at ASU. Anywhere else, they are not valid.
  • wow....stupid consignment shop. And yeah that doesn't make sense, if you've been shopping there, why would he not accept your hand me downs based strictly off of your size. If he can sell you clothes that size, buying them that size has to happen as well.

    You must have gone to UofA...or University of Phoenix! Or NAU! Or anywhere but ASU.
  • I think it was kind of rude of you to say, "excuse me?" when he said he didn't want certain items. He can choose to buy whatever items he thinks he can sell... and maybe he didn't like your items.

    Whoa is that a franchise that told you that? I sell my name brand clothes at a few different stores as I've been losing the weight and I have sold clothes from size 9-13 and never have they told me the clothes I sold were too big, in fact they bought a lot at those sizes! Those aren't even plus sizes! Plus the average woman wears a size 12/14 I believe? (in the United States)

    Don't let the sizes of a popular brand of clothing or at a popular store get you down. Letting such insignificant things affect your happiness will result in one never being happy.

    ^This!

    I agree that his words were poorly spoken, however it is his store and he needs to make a profit. There are plenty of stores out there that cater to a specific build. The part that I don't understand is, if he doesn't have people your size shopping there, then how is it that you are able to find clothes in your size when you go?
    That aside, let it roll off your back. Life is much easier when you aren't analyzing what other people say about you.

    Sorry he wasn't overly tactful...just take them elsewhere you don't need him anyway. I avoid those resell shops unless I am purchasing. My daughter bought a pair of jeans at one and three months later (or less) decided she didn't like them (never even wore them) took them back with some other clothes for trade and they refused to take them because the rise was to high....we were like what? We just bought them from you not even two months ago the rise was fine then..geesh

    I don't get what was so rude about what he said. He said he caters to smaller sized folks. Lots of stores do. If size 0-6 people shop there, how would it be good business sense to stock your store with 8 and up? He said he didn't have enough room for larger sizes. Sounds like he was just thinking with his business, not your feelings in mind.

    It's not personal, it's just business. Don't get offended, he didn't mean it to be rude.

    Soo, if he only sells clothes to folks in the 0-6 size range, well, I hope he is in California or some other skinny-butt state. But really, couldn't he have said, "Miss, we are at capacity on inventory right now"? Some people don't try to be rude - it just comes naturally.

    I know that the account is a little hard to read, as it lacks proper punctuation and is a bit confusing, but...according to the OP's account, the shop owner never said that a particular size is fat.

    I'm going to second this. I had :indifferent: going on the entire time I read that. His business, his money, his choice.

    Exactly. These are the words the OP said the shop owner used.
    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.

    "we don't have people your size"

    "people your size don't shop here"

    Everyone that thought these were rude comments have personal insecurities. Saying 'your size' is not equal to saying 'fat'. The only way this could be derogatory is if the listener thinks their size is somehow undesirable and that's a personal problem, not the shop owner's problem.

    Exactly. Some folks go through life with a victim mentality, and assume that everyone is looking to grind them down. It's no way to live. Give people the benefit of the doubt. Prepare for the worst, but assume the best, and do not let the opinions or actions of others affect your own self esteem and happiness.

    He said that? You didn't mention anything like that in your original post.
