YUP!
That may be because many shops (ESPECIALLY Victoria's Secret) are notoriously HORRIBLE at sizing women. Perhaps this is because they don't make anything over a DD.
(they are much more suited to making tiny boobs look bigger than supporting already big ones) Say a woman is a 32F, rather than size her as such they would probably say "oh, you're a 36D, here you go, try this [POS] on." and then the woman leaves in a crap fitting bra and thinks that's what her size is from here on out. It's actually quite a problem if you've got a decent size set and are walking around with a giant band size. The support comes from the cups and band, not the straps. A bad fitting bra is uncomfortable and lends to sagginess. You would think a store that specializes in bras would be better but they often aren't.
But you touched a pet peeve of mine.
