So you ask “Why, dearest Olivia, why do you hate these shopping destinations so?” Well, I will tell you.
First of all, it’s The Man. The Man that puts you down, you know the one. The Man controls these two stores, and I’m not a fan of The Man.
But the main reason, the most obvious reason, is because you can smell the store in a mall, two stores away. And I’m talking two stores away like big two stores, maybe a Gap and a Banana Republic away, you know, bigger stores. Not some tiny candle store. I hate candle stores too though. Anywho, that smell, that strong odor of way, way, WAY, too much perfume/cologne sprayed about. This stench hits you and you feel as if you’ve been bitch-slapped by it! And that’s not the worst part!
The worst part is walking in, then you come close to suffocating. Every time I go into either of the two stores I come out with a headache and feel a bit dizzy. They are numbing your senses so that you will buy their twenty five dollar underwear. What terrible people.
Speaking of the people, the people! The folks that work there most of the time are all up in your face half the time, or can’t seem to find the time to help you the other half. I’m all “I need help” and they’re all “hold your damn horses little lady, I’m straightening shirts!” And then I’m all “Whatev.” and they’re all “Oh no you didn’t.” (Not really). Anywho, I don’t like that in a salesperson. I like one that sort of sits to the side and watches you, but not in a creepy way, and when you get that confused look on your face, they come to your aid.
Also, and not meaning to sound like an old person, but really. Their music is way too loud! I can’t hear anything in there. My phone rang three times, and I didn’t hear it! Have you heard my phone ring? It’s annoying! I tried recording a song off of my ipod onto it, and it’s fuzzy. Great song though.
Now, after all this angry ranting, I’ll leave you with a little sumthin-sumthin; it’s a picture my Grandma took of Wilbur the puppy who they puppy-sat for a bit in August, enjoy!

I agree with you 100%, the entrance to Hollister alone steers me clear of that place and then you have the loud music and its dark as shit inside. Abercrombie, I just can’t stand. It’s like I’m supposed to dance and be on ecstacy waving glow sticks while shopping. I just refuse to go into either one. But I will say that Hollister banks at the bank where I work at and they bank face their money so they arn’t nearly as hated as Victoria Secrets whose floor I’m going to shit on one day.

There wont ever be head or tail about your posts ever, will it?

I hate Abercrombie possibly even more than I hate Tony Hawk. The music, the sales people, and none of their clothes ever fit my tall lanky frame. Everything is made for metrosexual gym bois (spelt specifically with an “i”).
And UTP- No one likes people who only leave negative comments. How about you work on your grammar and come back when you have something nice to say?

That puppy picture is so cute! Did your grandma take all the pics on the link? Awesome, if so.

I always figured they were going for the atmopshere of a club in a preppy California neighborhood. Because nothing else explains the loud music, cologne stench, and overly gelled clerks.

Jack the mack (That’s your new name)- We should start a Hollister/Abercrombie hate group.
Dearest Craig- I totally hear you there. Everything there is either too weirdly loose on the torso area or weirdly short on the arm area. It’s crap. And I’d like you to be an honorary member of the hate group! And great one on the boI instead of boY, fantasmical!
Shannanana- I love that picture! I’m glad you like it! And yep, she did all the pictures, and on behalf of her I thank you.
Ambika- I wish I had your name, because it’s amazing.
Utip (If that is your real name)- You are totally mean and maybe need to get some therapy or a kitten or something to make you happier, because you’re totally negative. And you didn’t use correct punctuation. Maybe once you get a kitten then you’ll feel happy and leave a pat on the back type comment. Good luck with the kitten getting!

Yeah, the music’s too loud, and the clothes are overpriced, and they don’t make them anywhere NEAR my size, and I know I’m about 15 years old than their target demographic, and I know the salespeople have more attitude than a drag queen on the rag, BUT…..
Them bois working in there are by are large, pretty easy on the eyes. tasty eye candy!
Oh, and the puppy is simply aDORable!
HUGS…

Those pics are amazing. That is one talented Grandma you have.
I live in the great white north and we don’t have A&F or the other one and I’m probably way old to shop there, but I’ll steer my pre-teen away from them based on your analysis. I probably can’t afford them anyway.

I’m all up for starting the whole Hollister/Abercrombie hate group with you, but how did I get the nickname “Jack the Mack” again?

YES A+F’s music is so loud.
Your Grandma is a killer photographer. She seriously needs to submit the puppy photo to Cute Overload.

After having worked at A & F for awhile I would have to agree that we play the music too loud. However, I was always ok with that because bleeding ear drums is better then having to listen to the 16 year-old girls that shop there discuss their highlights and who’s daddy had a larger limit on their credit cards.
