A Man Without a Size.

So I went to Marshalls today to do some shopping. I haven't been to a Marshalls in years, but fond a gift card while cleaning out my car so figured hey, why not. Needless to say, I left with nothing, and don't know when I'll be back.

I'm a big guy, but not THAT big. Over the years my waist has gone from a 34 to a 44. I'm not proud of that fact, but that's the way I am. I'm also fairly tall. The regular section of Marshalls ends with 40's and a few 42's. I pick threw items to make sure that they are the right sizes and nothing got mixed up, and I'm left with nothing. As I'm about to leave the store, I see a Big and Tall section. I see a ring showing a size 50 so I figure I'm in luck.

Wrong again. Big and Tall starts at 46. I'm not kidding. I look up and down the racks, and find NOTHING. I end up asking someone and they, without prodding said that Big and Tall sizes start at a 46 waist. I ask what about regular sizes, do they go to 44. They responded, in a straight face 42. I asked what happened to size 44 and they just shrugged me off.

I guess this is more motiviation for me to work harder to lose weight. I'd be happy at a 36.
