Bra Shopping Made Difficult By Ham Employees Today, I went to the local discount store (sort of like TJ Maxx, but cheaper) to get some bras and stuff I needed. I am a 30C (30 is the rib cage measurement for guys who don't know), and most stores stop carrying at a 32 or even a 34. Discount store is the only place I've ever seen a 30 band in an actual store rather than going online. I went to the bra section in the far back corner of the store, but things are changed. They are...messier? Things are no longer filed by band size, and it's basically a big free-for all. Normally, they stack all their smaller-than-32-band bras at the end of the 32 rack, just after the 32 section tag ends. Not today! It's full of bras of ALL sizes and non-bra undergarments, also! As I looked for some method to the madness, I became aware of two short, spherical ogre women in store uniform hiding behind the undergarment racks, swapping stories about how they were best avoided work. I approach one of them, and eventually manage to tear her away from the riveting conversation she was having with her coworker. I ask her where the 30-band sizes are. She points me to the 32 and up section. I tell her that I'm not looking for a belt, I'm looking for a bra. She explains to me that she has mixed in all of the >30band sizes into this mess because they looked small enough to all be the same to her. She proceeded to explain to me that China labels their cup sizes too large to "make them feel like they have bigger ones."  I spend the next 45 minutes sifting through a chaotic rack of oversized rack-holders. It was full of 34s and 36s. (36" was the circumference of Marilyn Monroe's BUST, btw. And this butterbeast thought it was a small enough RIB CAGE size to go in this area.) I found exactly one bra with a 30 band and picked up a few stretchy ones because I need to wear something. Mountain troll's laziness made me waste 45 minutes of my life because it thought that the "smaller" sizes were so similar that it didn't matter if she mixed them all together. Also, Mountain Trolls hide in the lingerie section in the back of the store to avoid doing the job they are paid for. Never hire any of them.
