What can we do?
In this world, the big bully the samll, small bully the smaller.... the list goes on.

U need to make so many small people suffer to accum "one peanut" for the "Big" one.
But the "Big" one also not happy with just "one peanut".

Now is totally different.
When more people found this out, more small guy wld be bullied.
Expect more to come unless the garment change its attitude, or something is changed.
