I read it and it literally made me want to throw up in my mouth. What an ignorant and stupid thing to put out there...0

I remember the time my godmother and I went into this store for the first time. We thought the little bras on the wall were a joke and circled the whole entire store before realizing they weren't getting ANY bigger and we were on our way out the exit.
So I backed up and asked the girl....do you have any bra's for a person my size (in earnest). Blank stare. Like seriously totally blank. I wondered if the zombie apocolypse had just started at that moment. Then when we walked out all cool and collected my godmother snarted, squarted, and peezed, all at the same time while snarfing, and i forget the others (see the other thread http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/981759-why-is-snarting-primarily-a-female-phenomenon.)
I was totally serious and saw no humor in the situation WHATsoever since I sincerely wanted to buy my bra at a place that smelled so wonderful and was so dimly lit.0 -
Now that I read the article I'm just gonna buy one of their men's T-Shirts in size extra large meant for athletes and wear it to the next public appearance this man does.
I just hope it gets to happen before I fit into his regular sized clothes.
QUOTED FROM ARTICLE: "Lewis said that the only reason Abercrombie offers XL and XXL in men’s sizes is to appeal to large athletes"0 -
This is Mark Jefferies...clearly he was NOT part of the cool kids, and is trying way to hard to be one. Sorry buddy, your time has passed.

I love A&F.... it lets me identify whos a *kitten* without even having to talk to them. On the other hand I hate their stores and the all out assault on my senses they are making by spraying that damn pefume in the air. Walking past A&F is worse than walking past a yankee hill candle store. I can seriously smell the local A&F from across the mall. It is non consensual.0

Thanks now I know who to look for when I'm all decked out in his XXL t shirt and jacket. I'll probably find a bag or backpack to rock or anything else with their logo. It'll be a Fitch in.0 -
a picture is worth a thousand words. If my kid wanted to model for this guy, i'd draw the line. seriously.0 -

oooooh snap. apparently they anger different groups of people for different reasons? yikes. very controversial. might not be an accident. may be the whole no press is bad press thingie.0 -
I walk a wide circle around that store in the mall because the stench is enough to incapacitate an elephant. I don't know how the skinny kids who shop and work there can do so without gas masks.0

Everybody is entitled to their opinion. He does not like "FAT" chicks wearing his clothes, I take my money elsewhere and buy from someone whose opinion is different from A&F. What's the problem.0

I know I used to own a couple pair of their pants years ago, but I bought them at a thrift store. I'm not about name brands, but they fit my long legs and were cheap. I like cheap.0 -

The smell is obnoxious! I read the article but I still like some of their women's clothing. When I was super skinny I wore them a lot. Now my shoulders bust out of everything. If I get bigger sizes to fit them, it looks like maternity wear.0 -

Read kind of a similar story about Lululemon... http://techmommy.ca/2012/03/09/i-will-never-own-a-pair-of-lululemon-pants/
I was confused when I read that they don't make the Plus sizes because the fabric is too expensive and larger people wouldn't be able to afford them.... weird, being that they have no problem making the men's sizes large... large enough to fit a size 18 woman. And franky... I don't know any heavier woman that wouldn't shell out any amount of money to assist in looking great. I spent $100 on a pair of Silver Jeans yesterday because my *kitten* looks amazing in them and the "treat" of being able to see myself as a sexy woman right now gave me a boosted effort in my campaign to loose weight. Sometimes that's all we need.0 -
Meh, their clothes are poorly made and overpriced.
Fun fact: The only time I wore Abercrombie and Fitch was when I was an overweight middle schooler.0 -

I go there because they objectify their male employees. Mama likes.0 -
This is old news. People still care about Abercrombie and Fitch?0

Haha ^^This^^
Ironic too that one of the ugliest men I've ever seen says he only wants good looking people wearing his product.... he must not wear his own clothes then.0 -
As a fat chick that the CEO hates, I have to say... I don't give a *kitten*.0
