One of them is apparently sized for large women wanting to feel smaller, while the other is appropriately sized for 11-year-old girls. Do you think it's wrong to base all your decisions as a company on money? I'm sure it's bad for workers, but I didn't think you had sympathy like that.

I've gotten some great deals at Steve and Barry's, but it was also the first place I ever had to try on clothes. Most of the size labels seem to have been applied by blind people. Or maybe people working in caves. A friend of mine briefly worked there as a manager. She said that every decision the company made was based on $$$. If shipping their clothes via boat from Malaysia to China to get buttons sewed on saved them a couple bucks, they'd do it. Oh, and here I thought from the title that you’d lost your job.

In NY the extra affordable <a href="http://www.starbury.com" rel="nofollow">Starberrys Sneakers & Clothing Apparel</a> were sooooo hot when they first came out. The sneakers and jackets were sold out everywhere. I finally got my hands on a pair of the sneakers I wanted & they were the worst sneakers...IN THE WORLD. They had to be made by some mentally challenged Malaysian workers with 3 fingers on each hand. I couldn't even walk in them I just threw them in the garbage. I had totally forgot about that whole experience until you created this bargain bin shopping post. What's next girl?... ...that Matt Damon movie <a href="http://www.goodwill.org" rel="nofollow">GoodWill Hunting</a> I will never shop at S&B again.
