Reader's question: Our payment system is not "one size fits all". Could you explain “one-size-fits-all”? My comments: Imagine you’re a shoe company and you produce shoes of only one size…. Got the idea? “One-size-fits-all” hence describes schemes that are rigid and inflexible, therefore usually unworkable. In the above example, saying that their payment system is not “one size fits all”, they mean to say that their system caters to different customers each with their particular needs and demands.
