Jagweed is one of Tina Fey/Liz Lemons made up words.
I take it to mean one of those feminine care products.

I agree that there are other stores with limited sizing.
Some of that may be demand- REI for instance, does not stock outdoor clothing or equipment in their regular stores that targets users at the opposite size of spectrum for height & weight, although Im sure if you had a need they would at least help you find resources even if they didnt have a rental or prototype to try.

Uber expensive stores obviously target those who want to splurge, Tall & Big shops discriminate against Tom Cruise & Patton Oswalt, & A&F targets shoppers who arent offended by targeting little girls with thong underwear that has suggestive sayings on them or merchandise & apparently practices that discriminate against minorities. Even the attractive ones.

Ive never heard a CEO state they only want attractive people wearing their clothes. It surprised me. I think of retailers being interested in the customer- but Ive grown up in the culture of REI & Nordstroms & PCC.
Which are way more pleasant to shop at.

Im surprised the salespeople are only paid minimum wage, that seems like a stressful environment to work in what with the teeth jarring music & the endless spraying of cologne.

My daughter worked two retail jobs when she was earning money for her gap program. Both union jobs, with decent pay & benefits. She liked working at the dept store, but selling brands like seven & BCBG was taking a toll on her savings, so she quit to get more hours at the garden store.

( krlilies - my D financed a trip to India where she shipped home a ton of similar styles of clothing & jewelry for her friends & relatives, for less money than a seasons worth of clothing from a&f if that price is representative.;)) Plus she had a volunteer vacation as well.

Places like A & F that sell not through quality of their product but in convincing a few people that it is a " prestige" brand, can only be successful as long as people swallow it.
