Comments on: Shame on you Abercrombie http://www.legallyheidi.com/2009/06/14/shame-on-you-abercrombie/ I live, I laugh, I love and I wear a lot of pink Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:36:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: someone who works for the company http://www.legallyheidi.com/2009/06/14/shame-on-you-abercrombie/comment-page-1/#comment-9853 someone who works for the company Thu, 03 Dec 2009 17:35:31 +0000 http://www.legallyheidi.com/?p=2113#comment-9853 i agree with all the comments about the discrimination at abercrombie, and iv worked for the company for over two years. i know it happends, and im not a fan of it. Also, to the girl who said she i treated better at Hollister -- Hollister is owned by the same company. The same shit goes down in every A&F, abercrombie kids, hollister, rhuel, && gilly hicks store you will ever go into. The rules are the same in every store. So if you against one of the stores, dont patronize the others, cause they are still getting your money. i agree with all the comments about the discrimination at abercrombie, and iv worked for the company for over two years. i know it happends, and im not a fan of it.

I was told to wear a miniskirt in winter- with flip flops- when it was snowing- cause it was "beachy". They tried to mandate tanning and they didn't mean spray tans- we had a "fake and bake" deal with a local chain so that we could be crispy brown and look like we just rolled out of SoCal. Also, I was definitely encouraged to shop a size down in shirts since I was one of the few college girls (read: boobs) working there which meant that Hooters tried to recruit me (Seriously. And my bosses encouraged it!!). Add the $6.25 an hour and I quickly moved on (not to Hooters). The bonuses were that there were cute boys everywhere and that the soundtrack rocked. Other than that- bleh. I used to work for Hollister and let me tell you, it was awful there too. I was told to wear a miniskirt in winter- with flip flops- when it was snowing- cause it was “beachy”.

But also, as a size 14, could never myself. So I much prefer American Eagle. Clean stores, nice staff who don't treat you like crap, etc. I do like the way Abercrombie clothes look (I just love mooses!) I don't enjoy shopping there. The men staff seem to be nicer. I know someone who works there that is maybe a size 8 and has a bit of pudge but is a prized employee. She isn't drop-dead gorgeous, but shes cute. So Abercrombie isn't THAT awful to its employees like everyone thinks. Well, as a teenager, I know people who shop there all the time. But also, as a size 14, could never myself.

They forced her to getting size 0 pants of the free pair they get for working there. She said she could barely fit, but they wanted them to look tight. Honestly, I was always jealous of everyone who wore it (apparently my size 14 self was too big for their Look.) But after hearing her story- no thanks.

Yet again, A&F has proven that they truly deserve their snobby reputation. So, many young people shop there. Is it not enough to teach them that short skirts and tight shirts with a moose on them will make them cool? I guess they also have to spread the word that anybody who isn't perfect can just be pushed aside into the background. Definitely not cool. Thanks for sharing this!

They've put workers who aren't skinny white kids in the back. It's disgusting and I'm proud to say I've never bought anything there. They’ve been known to do this king of thing for a while now.

I used to like the clothes but that is too much, I hate discrimination. “All-white ‘A&F look”?... I´ve always been treated better at Hollister anyways.
