    Abercrombie Fitch is only for cool and good-looking people!

    " That's why we hire good-looking people in our stores. Because good-looking people attract other good-looking people, and we want to market to cool, good-looking people. We don't market to anyone other than that."

    As far as Jeffries is concerned, America's unattractive, overweight or otherwise undesirable teens can shop elsewhere. "In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids," he says. "Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don't belong [in our clothes], and they can't belong."

              Jeffries should tell his clientele to enjoy their good looks and popularity while they can, because in 20 years those nerdy kids that nobody really likes will be setting their wages and throwing wild parties on their private yachts. Muahaha.

                  I love it how the A&F salespeople love to ignore you when you walk in the store.

                    i buy my boxer shorts there, they have the best boxer shorts hands down. i would never buy anything else though. i get annoyed by their techno music they play so much that i try to run in there and get out asap. some kid in high school got an interview there and the guy when he hired him was saying how he wouldnt hire any fat kids or someone with a disability or anything. i would like to see them get sued.

                      They already got sued... which ended in a 40 million dollar settlement...

                      On April 14, 2005, Judge Susan Illston of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granted final approval to a settlement of the class action lawsuit Gonzalez v. Abercrombie & Fitch. The settlement requires the retail clothing giant to pay $40 million dollars to Latino, African American, Asian American and female applicants and employees who charged the company with discrimination.

                      The settlement also requires the company to institute a range of policies and programs to promote diversity among its workforce and to prevent discrimination based on race or gender. Abercrombie & Fitch Co. is a clothing retailer marketing to young adults, teenagers and children. It employs over 22,000 employees, most of whom are college-age adults, in over 700 stores throughout the United States.

                            I don't know, probably plastic surgery...

                            On page 2 of the article :

                            "His biggest obsession, though, is realizing his singular vision of idealized all-American youth. He wants desperately to look like his target customer (the casually flawless college kid), and in that pursuit he has aggressively transformed himself from a classically handsome man into a cartoonish physical specimen: dyed hair, perfectly white teeth, golden tan, bulging biceps, wrinkle-free face, and big, Angelina Jolie lips. But while he can't turn back the clock, he can -- and has -- done the next best thing, creating a parallel universe of beauty and exclusivity where his attractions and obsessions have made him millions, shaped modern culture's concepts of gender, masculinity and physical beauty, and made over himself and the world in his image, leaving them both just a little more bizarre than he found them."

                                    I was just getting ready to say that I thought A&F was for chicks and gay guys . . . guess that is confirmed now.

                                      Well, in a way it does make some sense because people who aren't "cool" will want to shop there in order to buy the "lifestyle" of appearing cool... And people who already ARE cool will just feel that everyone is hating on them because they are sooo good looking and cool.

                                              Old Navy has such a weird image. They try to pull off the prep thing but they're cheap as fuck. I get some of their jeans, $30, I like their cuts.

                                              I mean even my dad wears Old Navy.

                                                I heard that the salespeople there will only help you out if you are a 7-10 on the A&F good-looking scale because they only want certain people who fit their ideal image wearing their clothes... If your not hot they won't help you unless you ask for it...

                                                So if you wanna know if you're good looking just go to Abercrombie and see if they offer you any help.. lol

If your not hot they won't help you unless you ask for it...

                                                  So if you wanna know if you're good looking just go to Abercrombie and see if they offer you any help.. lol
                                                  so are you saying you're less than a 7?

                                                      I thought it was for gay men and the women that love them...

                                                      Ambercrombie and Bitch was the actual first name of the store, but they changed it to gain wider appeal.

                                                            No, but I'm not white. Apparently they only like hiring white people cause they don't hire minorities. Abercrombie and Fitch's ideal look is the "All American Look", which is preppy white people.

                                                                  It really comes down to the employees. Most of the guys who work there have serious self image problems and they were just looking for validation. The gays who work there (which is a lot of them) need constant reassurance of their looks, and ignoring certain people may go along with that. So don't sweat it if they don't shower you with attention.

                                                                    Of course a lot of people prefer hiring good looking people but AF discriminated so much and so openly that they actually got sued over it and lost to the tune of 40 mil.

Once i ask, ok, but leave me in peace when i dont say shit

Shit, I pay $89 for JCrew "bootcut", so no biggie right? Look at the sizes.. the largest size they go up to is 36, I'm a 34/32 so I wouldn't have a problem but I'll NEVER give them a dime... even before the fuck tard's comment, I NEVER bought anything from them! I thought girls wear "low rise" jeans, lol. Oh, jean sizes
