"My relationship with brick-and-mortar shopping is, in general, unpleasant. I can't remember a time in my life when I could go to a physical store and find a variety of things in my size that excited me and fit my personal style.

That leaves us with very few options and, for people on a tight budget, pretty much no chance of comparison shopping. You take what you can get."
