Why don't stores charge more for larger sizes? My wife is a petite, and she pays the same for pants or a shirt as an XXL, and those have like twice the material. Not only that, but they clearly weigh more and take up more volume, all adding costs to production and shipping.
WHY?
I DEMAND JUSTICE!
(yes, I am freaking kidding....but curious)
I mean we all pay more for S M L sodas, etc. Why not for clothes? The variable costs based on size are probably much greater in clothing than drinks or fries. I demand all Small Medium and Larges all cost the same....or all cost differnt.
Stores DO charge more for larger sizes!
In most stores, your petite wife would NOT be charged the same as someone 10 sizes larger.
You might be freakin kidding, but you're also not very observant. Most stores I go in sell plus sizes for a few bucks more. It wouldn't make sense not to. If a pair of pants is 16 bucks, plus sizes might be 18 or 19
Well, sweat pants, t-shirts, underwear, etc. at Wal-Mart are $1-2 more for the biggie sizes.
