How is it that a parental purchase for their child's needed lockers and gym uniforms online. Then the following day their child goes to pick up the clothes paid for, only to be told that they are completely out of that size uniform. But her coach immediately gave her a shirt and shorts that were so small that they would fit a baby and told her they were free. Now the whole school year is gone and she never received the uniform I paid for because they are always out of that size.
