Irritated

Why do all stores assume that people are not tall? I am feeling the strain of my pants and I can't find pants that are long enough. AND might I add I am cheap. I don't want to pay Gap prices. However, I will keep looking. I did find a nice tummy band. It look like everyone needs one of them. It is a big elastic band that allows you to wear your pants for longer with no need to button them. I know several people that could use that say on Thanksgiving!
