So I guess it's the short people's fault for not buying the stuff, dammit!
And I think we have a winner. I am no longer a retail writer, but markets and buying patterns are key. Buyers and managers take a look at what's selling, and make decisions on adding or eliminating lines based on that.

With plus, of course, there is also aesthetic prejudice, but I will leave that alone.
