Learn to do it yourself. Get a decent sewing machine, a thread kit, and Tailor's chalk. Assuming you already have an iron with a steam function and an ironing board, that's everything you need. It will take a little time to get it good enough but once you do: you can alter 4 or 5 pairs in a couple of hours. It also helps if you buy the shortest inseam you can find and a tapered leg so you don't have floods. Though, you get good enough you can take in the legs, too.

Another customer segment that B&M stores have traditionally ignored and online retailers are gradually going "oh wait, there's money on the table here." A little on the pricey side but this brand is specifically for 26-30" inseams Peter Manning NYC

Yeah, I didn't mean "nostalgia" exactly, I just thought it was interesting that the women spoke about how when they were looking for patterns of Disney stuff, they felt connected to other women who were looking for the Disney tights, because they had shared the same memories.

I don't but the general tend is towards ever steeper curves most especially in electronics. That was the textbook example illustrating the trend. I may have some aggregate graphs showing the compression in product life cycles. Could take a bit to find them. Basically product life cycles are shorter across the board in nearly all categories. The things firms sell, they make less money on more quickly than in the past.

It's not about looking at legs or enjoyment of them. It's about your sense of entitlement to women's bodies, such that you complain about women wearing tights affecting your view. I'm not a Christian. Nor do I have sex with underage people. I have stayed at motels in the past.

So BiLo holdings rejiggered it's organization and renamed to Southeastern Grocery about two years ago. I'm being told that now all employees lower than department head are now being made part time.

I don't consider it off-topic, since this thread has just mutated to cover all sorts of retail practices. My own answer is that probably the best way, rather than passing new laws, is that most MLMs have enough shady stuff going on at the margins that if the government wanted to prosecute, they could. And it would only take one or two cases, even ones that are settled out of court, to discourage MLMs.
