Call to Action
ATTENTION ALL RETAILERS!
As you all must know by now, nearly 100% of America is overweight! That's Right. This statistic includes YOUR customers. If you don't believe me, take your next lunch break on a bench in the mall and spend 30 minutes people watching. The evidence speaks for itself.
This statistic also includes me. A hefty size 12.
Speaking from experience, I have found that EVERY department store, boutique, outlet and shop find it AMUSING to place all the big girl sizes in the BACK of every rack.
THIS IS A PROBLEM.
As you can imagine, it is difficult for us big girls to lean over a rack with an arm load of clothing and sift through an endless stream of size ZEROS to find that precious size14 hiding in the LAST available crevice of space. By this time, our armloads of clothing have slipped to the floor and the racks of clothing hanging above our heads are crashing down onto our shoulders. This leaves us defenseless. Our asses are sticking out in the aisle, our fallen clothes are lying in a heap. In a word or few: WE ARE BLOCKING SHOPPING TRAFFIC.
When we finally emerge victoriously from the darkness of the Back Rack with our size 12 capris (or maybe they are a 14, depending on if they are "stretch") , we are greeted by a line of angry shoppers who have been blocked by our asses, from that rack of adorable purses.
So do America a favor and PUT THE BIG GIRL CLOTHES IN THE FRONT OF THE RACK.

But then the little "0" girls would need footstools to get clothes in their size.
Yeah, take that, bitches.

i would just like to add that i am still pissed at express for discontinuing their underwear line, as well as any sizes above a 4. they have NO IDEA how much of my money/business they lost by doing that. once upon a time, my entire wardrobe was from express!
