A ticketing error on a pair of Kmart shorts has sparked a huge conversation about the pricing on clothes after many believed the budget retailer was charging more for larger sizes.
A shopper who accused Kmart of charging more for clothes in a size 10 and above has ignited a debate about the “fat tax” in Australia.
However the cotton clothing item – which is available in two colours; green and blue – is priced at $15 for all sizes on the Kmart website, with the retailer confirming to news.com.au the discrepancy was a “ticketing error” due to a “price drop” on the range. Interestingly, the viral video ignited a wider debate about the controversial topic, with many arguing retailers should charge more for bigger sizes, claiming it costs more to make.
“We never do it that way, but we probably should. uses more material, should cost more,” one chipped in. A small few were raging at the apparent charge for larger sizes, labelling the move “foul” and “disgusting”, despite the fact it wasn’t true.Viral $99 Kmart item finally back in stock
