I'm a newish member (hi all!), and having been inspired by
nakedfotolady's letter a few entries down, I sent in an email of my own. The reply was prompt, but about what I expected; it looks as though it was taken directly out of some customer service phrase book.

My experience is more with owning a small chain (my father, not me), but I remember hippies coming into his jean store with measuring tapes in the 60s to make sure the bells were big enough. He then made a point of having big bellbottoms on the jeans. When the companies came by with the samples he had his own measuring tape out.
As I say, he owned a /small/ chain, but stores exist to sell product and make money. Show them a palpable profit vector and they will respond.

but i can't even go and buy anything in the stores since they never brought the plus line to canada!

But if they lost the plus section, I was planning on putting on my nicest matching undwear set, and jiggling around the store, informing them that I needed something to wear, and why can they no longer provide?

Lol...can you imagine if there were enough women as brave as you nationwide - so we could protest in this huge coordinated effort? That would be GREAT! "Until you reinstate the plus sizes in stores - there will be plus-sized women in their underwear in EVERY store!"
Too bad I'm such a chicken.

HAHAHAHAh! oh my god, that's it! a group of near-naked, fat women wandering confusedly around the former-plus-section, asking where the clothing went?

Not everyone can order online, or wants to.
*sizewise, anyhow. Actual fit.. well... they make stretchy things. :P
We've got few enough options for current-styled clothing, and fewer still that are reasonably inexpensive. (I don't think that $30 for jeans is exactly *cheap*, but it's better than $90 I paid for the pair previous.)
Why let it go without a fight?
