Abercrombie and Fitch CEO "hates fat chicks"

a picture is worth a thousand words. If my kid wanted to model for this guy, i'd draw the line. seriously.

what's up with his eyes???

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....

Wow, that's horrible!!

I actually donated a couple of nice, nearly new ~LARGE~ A&F women's shirts to goodwill just a few months ago. Guess I did the right thing! :drinker:

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.

I have not shopped at that store and do not defend any poor choices they make.

But, that aside, it is important to know that there are a lot of plus sized only stores.

Also, the vast majority of stores do not sell the xxs sizes. So, when there is a store that specializes in smaller sizes, only sells smaller sizes, or sells sizes in smaller sizes that are a size small (instead of selling an extra small that is actually a medium). Those are the stores I am going to shop at, and take note of and know that I will be able to go to that store and actually find clothing that fits me.

Whenever I hear people complaining that a certain store only sells small sizes I go check it out because maybe that will be a place that will be easy for me to shop at, that will have a wider selection and will actually maybe even have some items that fit me. Small people need clothing and lingerie also. The reality is that anyone that is either larger than average or smaller than average is going to have trouble finding clothing, and as a result there will be companies that cater to smaller people and companies that cater to larger people.

This is a good perspective from the other side. I think anyone can specialize in anything they wish but someone is always going to yell fire.

The problem I have is it's just dumb as a company to associate yourself with hating on any type of person. He obviously lost his censor button in all that high society. Other than that, I couldn't care less about his opinion.

I do agree with that perspective, however, I personally think it's the way he said it. You can cater to the market you want and that is completely fine. It's the way he is saying that larger girls aren't the "cool and popular" girls so I don't want them to wear my clothes because they aren't popular. I know a lot of girls who were popular in high school who were large girls and I also know even more girls who were size 2 - 6 that weren't popular and would wear their clothes.

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.

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...
