women's pants rant

[VeloVT]

For a brief time Target actually offered this and I seem to recall that it was pretty reasonably priced. I'm not sure why it didn't last...perhaps the product wasn't good or it was too difficult to maintain the service.

FWIW, Banana Republic offers either free hems or $10 hems (it's been a while since I've done it so I can't remember if it was free or had a nominal cost, but it was convenient and well done - someone at the store pins for you, then they send it out, I think I was able to get the pants back for a rush event in 2-3 days at no extra charge. Cheaper AND faster than taking them to a tailor).

Some poor person is making slave wages doing those hems, no doubt.
