Dear Abercrombie & Fitch....


"Whaddya mean I need a 6-pack to shop here?   Don't pudding packs count?"


So you don't want fat people in your store because they don't "belong" in your clothes,eh?  Not cooool enough.  A year ago you didn't say anything to this fat mom when she, in her humble opinion, was paying overinflated prices for questionable quality clothes in your soft core porn-decorated shop for her skinny teenage son.  Apparently you have no problem with taking fat people's money - just the idea of them wearing your clothes.

Our experience that day in your little sandbox of a store was unpleasant enough for us to not return.  You clearly not only want to appeal to the thin and the cool, but also to the vapid, rude, and marginally intelligent crowd as well, if your staff was any indication of your over-all marketing plan.  It takes a long time for high school "populars" to grow up and realize the world doesn't revolve around them the way they thought it did.  Hopefully, by the time you reach the same conclusion, all of us non-populars will have affected your - ahem - bottom line as we spend our dollars elsewhere - as if we just HAD to have your product.  Don't flatter yourselves - you're not that special.

Just sayin'.

Exactly. One reason i don't wear logo stuff unless it was a gift -- if they want me to advertise for them, they should pay me, not make me pay for the privilege. Their snotty attitude is another.

Absolutely agree. It just annoys me that that company gets away with this but like you said - it may catch up with them later.
