There are a lot of people who will pay a lot of money to show that they are better than others.

Still the best shop was the one who sold stuff only to fit people - didnt have big sizes (I always wondered if they didnt sell big sizes at a premium).

No, because they don't want fat people tarnishing their brand.

Too hard to make them look good? I don’t think it’s strictly impossible.
