Yes, we all do KNOW that fabric will shrink when we pre-wash it. But that is not the fault of the store, or the manufacturer... it is just the nature of the product. Whether we pre-wash or not, that is our choice, after we have made the purchase.
If I buy a pound of ground beef and cook it, there will not be a full 16 ounces left. So should I expect the butcher to give me extra to account for the shrinkage? I think not.
If I wanted a pound of ground beef AFTER I COOKED IT I would purchase more so I could have a pound of ground beef for that dish.
