one armed/legged

[devilwoman]

i've always wondered what would happen in shoes shops if a one legged person came into the shop to buy a shoe, would they let them? or would they have to buy the pair/? same with one armed person, would they have to buy gloves in pairs?

[cascarelli]

Probably the same as a car dealer selling a vehicle to a single person. The dealer wouldn't be expected to remove the extra seats would they?

they come in pairs theyere sold in pairs


simple really

cascarelli, yeah but a cars different, you can give people a lift to work or whatever, the one armed or legged folk have to pay full price for half item, they cant use both.

actually wonder if they could go on special websites where they make stuff to cater for them?

I think it depends on whether the shop already has another customer who needs the same size shoe for the opposing foot.

I have size 11 feet as well as being quite tall. I was once in Hong Kong where I definitely felt above average size, compared with the locals.

I walked into a shoe shop, and the assistant just looked at my feet and immediately said "No". I just turned round and walked out again.

the shop offers products for sale.
people either buy them or they don't.
the shop don't give a toss what you intend to do with the items once you leave the shop.

the shop would simply say, 'well don't buy them then, we will sell them to a 2-legger'
why should the shop lose half their profit and end up with half a pair cluttering up the shop?

shops are not obliged to sell you anything - they are merely inviting you to.
