I’ve always thought A&F clothing were tacky, overpriced rags. I remember asking a friend while window shopping one day, “Do people actually wear that stuff? In PUBLIC?”

Abercrombie & Fitch used to sell sporting goods, didn’t they? Wasn’t Rock Hudson’s character in “Man’s Favorite Sport” a salesman in the fishing tackle department at A&F?

I can guarantee that they have nothing in my size…

Great post! Great sense of humor! I agree with Nin Ashmore. Erma Bombeck would be so proud!

I didn’t have to wait until this guy opened his mouth and stuck his foot in. I wandered into an A&F store once for about two seconds. I looked at the price tag on the teeny tiny expensively-distressed t-shirt and thought I’d happened upon an overpriced goodwill store. When I saw the torn up jeans next to it, I knew I wouldn’t have to check back later for new arrivals.

I think Jeffries’ attitude stinks and it really bothers me someone would have so little tact to publicly say such a statement. I’m not an A&F shopper, but am grateful for people like you who reveal the truth about stores like this. I think many stores are forgetting consumers can cause change and don’t have to do business with less than reputable companies.

In reply to Tanya Cienfuegos. I think that's great idea! And I've got an almost-cadaver thin shallow character who can pull it off. Thanks, Tanya, for the first scene work of the day.
