Abercrombie and Fitch CEO "hates fat chicks"

And as a public figure, he may have freedom of speech. But he should also practice responsible speech. As an elected official, I learned quickly how easily the media can spin what you say by leaving out most of it. If that happened, he should have immediately come out witha rebuttal.
One more thing, he is talking about ugly people?!? Get some eye work done, dude!

I've never been interested in wearing clothing that is clearly intended for 14 year olds. (the only people I ever see in their stuff is young teens)
I also try to avoid doing business with companies that are ****ing *kitten*. So it works out.0 -
eh....to each their own....
i'd rather spend my money on running shoes and workout clothes.0 -
The CEO looks like he had face transplant surgery
I haven't read all 4 pages but that's what I was going to say; the guy's had multiple cosmetic surgeries and he's starting to look grotesque.
A&F is well-known for clerks who ignore you or give you the stink-eye if you should happen to trespass into their territory and you're not their kind. I say this as someone who could fit into their clothes, but I'm 60 and have grey hair and glasses, so I'm not their type, either. He's just reinforcing their image and the loyal customers who like to be part of the "In group" will eat it up and go shopping for more A&F clothes, so he got what he wanted.0 -
They hate poor people too...They BURN thousands of pieces of unsold clothing every year instead of donating them, because poor people wearing their stuff it bad for their image....0

If that's their business model then more power to them but.... this actually made my jaw drop. Wow.0 -
His looks win no prize, but a successful business person does not use personal taste.
They cater to a market that they can probably ride for about 20 years until the brand becomes ubiquitous and they need to change.0 -
Seems like a jerk.
That said.. kind of odd you'd gripe about this particular stance of his, then say how ugly he is or how bad his surgery made him look.
Just sayin'0 -
4 pages in and not a single LFO Summer Girls reference...
disappointed.0 -
If you place value in someone who tried to define a perception, you will most likely see arrogance...
in this case, Ambercrombie's your *****.
Rather than glorify another for anything negative, for it only adds to their "awareness" within society, take your negative prejudice and change it to the positive. As in, for this individual, stop buying, looking, or thinking about their product.0 -

I took my daughters in there one time, and they found a boatload of stuff on sale--I mean a ton things. As the nasty little sale person was ringing up our stuff (I mean tons, maybe 30 items or more--it was a huge sale), I asked him about their perfume, and he looked up at me, and gave me a snarl and smugly said...that's number 8 or something like that....
I said, wow...are you having a good day, because your attitude is kinda, ummmm....not cool. He looked a bit shocked, straighten up just a wee bit, and keep ringing up our HUGE load of stuff and didn't bother to answer me. As I was watching him ring our stuff up...I was looking around at the weird pics and told my daughters, ya know what? I don't like the "tudes" up in here--my two daughters whispered to me and said--that's why we never come in here--it's weird up in here, mother--let's go somewhere else--to Lucky Brand instead. I said, you're right! The young dude looked at me and rolled his prissy eyes and continued ringing up our huge purchase. I just looked at him--with one eye brow raised. When it got to the last item, it gave me the total...which was a lot and he dared to say, hmmmph he gave me the total.... I looked at him and said:
"Ya know what sweetie...I don't like your attitude--I've changed my mind--I'm not getting any of this stuff, I'm going to take my daughters to Lucky Brand instead and give them our money and business instead of you--so you can just cancel that big huge order and have fun putting all that stuff back....then I said--- HMMMMPH!
He looked at me and said, oh my God, I'm sorry, I'm sorry--I'm soooo sorry!!!! I told him I am too--next time he'd better treat people like he wants to be treated, and not like your customers are doing you a favor honey and my daughters and I flounced out the store with prissy delight and shopped until we dropped at Lucky Brand instead (which is one of my daughters favorite stores).
My daughters have NEVER stepped their skinny selves in that store since!
Hmmmmmph :smooched:
I love this!! WTG! :drinker:0 -
Obviously, it's clear, that guy has some serious problems.0
-
Glad he came out as a douche. Always good to be an "informed" consumer. Maybe people will drop less coin in his stores and this will hurt their bottom line. His Board of Directors will not be happy.0
-
I hate that damn store. I used to go pull the pants up on their stupid models and tighten the belts to hold the pants where they belonged.0
-
Yeah, I've never went into that store, and now I never will.0
-
I went in there for ****s and giggles. I'm a size Medium in shirts everywhere else... their version of a "Medium" is more like an XX-Small.
Unbelievable.0 -
Haha, I was just coming to the message boards to post the same article when I saw this! Gives me even more motivation to lose weight; I'm going to get small enough to wear their clothes, and then boybott them!0
-
I hate fat chicks, too. That's why I decided to not be one anymore! 0

THe 10/10 hbb's on the other hand mire hard and get D so its all good.
I don't even understand what you said there.
Glad it's not just me, because I didn't understand it either :laugh:0 -
I hate entitled customers who think they deserve the royal treatment just because they have a pointless question to ask. What did you really need to know about a bottle of clothing line perfume? He told you what it was No.8 "or something". Ok, good enough. Guy is ringing up all your third world country made clothes that your kids are going to wear for 11 months and you're firing away stupid questions about perfume. It's perfume... spray it, smell it, buy it or don't. I used to work in retail and I swear some customers just ask #### just to they can be made to feel special. You don't know what kinda day that dude had, and I'm not making excuses for him but not everyone who works in retail can be a robot every second they're on the clock. Sometimes you'll catch them off-guard and it doesn't give you, the customer, the right to declare war which is what you clearly wanted. Furthermore, what is smug or snarly to you may just be their personality. You should've asked yourself WWJD because they way you acted was MUCH worse. Didn't the Lord teach you compassion? Kill with kindness? Ever think to ask yourself why he would be in a crabby mood in the first place, did you really think it was because of YOU?:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

What? She hardly 'declared war'. She let him know she didn't like his attitude, and as is her right-took her money elsewhere.
It was more than just him not answering her question, it was his entire attitude. I am also quite sick of the the non-customer-service oriented society we are living in. I would have walked right out that door, with my wallet still full. It IS his job to make her feel special. It IS his job to answer her questions. If not then why is he there?
How am I a self entitled American when I expect service from a service industry worker? :huh: I work as a server on the weekends at a small diner. Where I give service with a smile. When I am sick. When I am tired after working 50 hours at my other job. Even if the customer asks me dumb questions. Why? Because that is my JOB!
This lady did the one thing we can do when we feel we are wronged in a business, take ours elsewhere.
As for A^F this 'fat chick' will never buy her skinny son's a Christmas gift there again.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.

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.
Don't waste your time in the A&F store being treated like crap. Goodwill is full of their clothes...Buy used. Don't give the man a dime of profit...0 -

Are you having a bad day? You're seeing things that weren't in her post. Seems like you're projecting other issues...Relax...
She didn't get good customer service. Not her fault. It's on the salesperson who "helped" her.0 -
“It’s almost everything. That’s why we hire good-looking people in our stores. Because good-looking people attract other good-looking people, and we want to market to cool, good-looking people. We don’t market to anyone other than that,” he said.
Change good-looking with 'healthy' and I have less issue with it.0 -

Having worked retail off and on for over 20 years, and having shopped at A&F myself (the clothes fit me), I think the lady has a point. Customers do want to feel special. And back to school shopping for 2 teen girls (who get taller over the summer and need new clothes) are this company's bread and butter. And they're charging $100 for a pair of jeans.Had the employee treated me that way, I would have left as well.
It's called the free market.
The last time I shopped at A&F, I had just purchased items at VS and, the cashier forgot to remove one of those tags and I set off their alarms going in to the store. They pounced like I was a criminal. I'm over 30, wearing a $200 pair of kicks, and Tiffany earrings. Once they ascertained that I was not a felon, they invited me in. I told them where to go and returned to VS to have the tag removed. I have not been back.
I've found a few of their items at Goodwill. It amuses me to buy them. Otherwise, I shop at Lucky Brand.
They're in financial trouble. I'm not surprised...0 -
