Abercrombie & Fitch part 2

Quick Recap from the last post.

1. That creepy guy is an ass, and runs his company as such.
2. We're (not me, but most) all outraged that this is happening.
3. I don't care what the creepy guy does.
4. I have not, will not, and refuse to ever shop at the store.

Since that's out of the way, we can get started.

I'm not sure what has become the bigger issue with this whole thing; the fact that this guy is an ass and told us about it or the fact that fat people can't wear his polos and slutskirts.

Things I've heard people say about it.
-His sizes are way off.
-He only hires attractive people.
-People are giving them to the homeless, rebranding Woo!
-I can shop there and I won't anymore. That guy is a butt.

Those things are too bad. Really they are. Those people have obviously never....
-bought a wedding dress. Talk about size discrepancy!! Just being a bridesmaid has taken my self-esteem to a remarkable low.
-walked into a fancy store where if you're not wearing nice clothes you feel awkward in such as Tiffany's or Burberry; and they can just tell you're looking and not buying.
-never been to an event where they say "People take off your shoes and give them to the homeless"
-shopped anywhere.

Or maybe they did and just forgot that stuff like this is part of life.

I'd like to consider the following questions.

Are people going to continue to shop at Old Navy?
-Just about a year ago, a veteran saw an employee wearing a military jacket with rank insignia and a weapons badge.  The veteran asked the guy about it and was given attitude. The employee started shouting at the veteran and apparently laid a hand on him. Old Navy removed the veteran and stood behind the employee.

Are people going to continue to shop at Hobby Lobby?
-Don't get me wrong, I would probably die without this store. My business would change and I would be depressed. Yeah it's a Christian company and they celebrate Christmas in July, but does anyone else ever wonder how they can charge so little? I am willing to bet money that the people who make the creepy doll limbs, stickers and model train parts don't get Sundays off to be with their families.

Are people going to continue to shop at Gymboree?
-This store and it's sister companies had one of their sweatshops in Bangladesh explode earlier this year. Their response was virtually, "We want to keep prices low for our customers, we're sorry"

As a fat, young, Christian girl who's been to Guatemala and seen where these sweatshop workers  live....I want to know...

WHY IS A&F MAKING PEOPLE SO ANGRY!?.

So this guy hates fat people? But I want to know why people don't care that he uses sweatshop labor to make those $80 jeans. We should be mad at ourselves. We should be mad that the company is pocketing at least $65 of our hard earned money per pair.

We should be mad that they have chairs outside the stores for parents. No wonder kids are losing their minds.. the parents are outside!
We should be mad that teenage girls are covering their textbooks with torsos of dudes they don't know.
We should be mad that the children who make the clothes aren't in school.
We should be mad that this store has made robots out of our kids.
We should be mad that most of the people that win olympic medals for the USA can't fit into the "cool kids company."

--Sorry but I don't care about what that creepy guy defines as cool. You win a medal? No, you even go to the Olympics to try and win a medal..... YOU ARE COOL.

I want to know why people are so upset. We let this happen. It's our fault. Parents are so outraged! Sorry, sending all the clothes back to the company only proves one thing. You as an adult got sucked in too.  Now you have to buy more clothes to replace the ones you sent back. Turn that little finger back around, please. You just got owned by that weirdo guy!

I'm not saying I'm free and clear...

My favorite sweater is made in Bangladesh.
My favorite pair of sandals is made in China.
My favorite evening gown (yes! I have one) is made in China too.
Oh and my The North Face jacket that I paid $150 for (if that's not embarassing, then I don't know what is. It's not really even that warm) is made in El Salvador. I'm not sure if I could point to it on a map.
The clothing thing of mine (that I know of ) that was made in the USA....are the things my mom has made for me. She's from Detroit and they were made in Naperville. VICTORY!!!

I went to college for 5 years; I can't find El Salvador, and I buy most of my clothes from companies who exploit children......Yay! I am a good person.

Until I can figure out how to fix this... I will drive my car to Starbucks and sip iced tea I could make for myself almost 90% cheaper.






Yay America!

I got this pic from Google. It's not mine. Thank God.

Why is a shirtless man selling fleece??? It's not even cold in this picture.

What do you think about all this?? Tell me in a comment.
