Conjured up memories of clothes shopping with my mom when I was younger...seldom found a good fit and was usually mistaken for a boy in the process.

And I empathize with the confusion and disgust. I have a hard enough time remembering my neck size let alone a color code. Why make something as unpleasant and time-consuming as shopping for clothes yet more difficult? I can JUST see Lynn doing exactly that.

Anyway, Lynn said she thinks she knows what store you're talking about. If she's right, she shops there too, and I hate to think what would happen if she met up with the bitchy clerk you mentioned. Actually, I can imagine what would happen. When Lynn has faced a bitchy clerk like that, I've known her to pull a whole armload of random clothes from the rack or table to "try on" and then just take them to the front desk and dump them on the counter, saying, "Sorry, I decided I didn't want these." Make sure the clerk has to fold and/or put the clothes back on the hanger. Getting even may not be Christian, but it can make you feel better.

Or brands. For instance, a brand will color-code everything to make things convenient. Then they'll get <em><strong> wacky wild </strong></em> and change around the color coding they had just taught you to be dependent upon. But in any case, I love the kitty litter metaphor throughout your story. :) Rude wench... I don’t understand why stores do stuff like that. Or brands.
