I'm pretty much echoing the '...why would a self-respecting female want to work at Abercrombie & Fitch?!' sentiment.

Because of the gay porn catalogue, DUH!

This reminds me of Improveverywhere

Are the men *required* to wear shirts? (link)

Ugh, those ones should be.

Ugh and if they do earn the right to not wear a shirt, they usually need a paperbag.
How I hate A&F.

I dunno. I'd be pissed right off, but I wouldn't file a federal complaint. Abercrombie & Fitch's employees all look like the people in their ads, I think it really is just the fact that no tanorexic preppy mall rats where headscarves, so they don't want to hire a girl who wears one.

[thebigbadbutch]

Um, except A&F already lost one law suit for only hiring employees that look like the people in their ads.

She can work in the back room.

Well, they do have an image to uphold.

Get over it!

[rex_dart]

And that image is WHITE BREAD BLANDNESS!

And it's hot.
