What that article said is very rude, and mean. Anybody should be able to wear what they want. Nobody is perfect by no means. Its very disrespectful that he would write something like that, and hurt other peoples feeling. He should no longer be able to own the store, and let someone own it that has respect for people.
ReplyDeleteI think that is very stupid. I think anyone should be able to by whatever they want in what ever store. Also I think its wrong that they don"t sell XL or XXL. Big girls and guys should be able to buy that brand because they like it, but they can't because they don't sell it in there size. I think its very prejudges.
ReplyDeleteNow I know why every time I go in there I feel judged!
DeleteThe article that I just review was disrespectful. Anyone should be able to wear whatever brand they want to wear. Some people like Ambercrombie and Fitch. There is no problem with having overweight people in the store trying to by a fashionable brand. People who own business has a goal, and that's to make money. They don't care who walks into their store if there overweight or not as long as they looking for the clothing they want.
ReplyDeleteYes but this is the very thing he is saying...NO fat people in his store or advertising/wearing his brand in public. He does care who comes into his store - he wants only "pretty people" . How does that make you feel?
DeleteGreat post Aaron. :)
DeleteThat article is so stupid! I wouldn't want to work at a store that doesn't allow fat people to shop there. They all should get fired because that's really mean. I don't even want to talk about it anymore!
ReplyDeleteDevin I totally agree with you.
DeleteThis article was just plain out rude. Anyone should be able to wear what they want, and size shouldn't matter. Over weight people shouldn't have to feel like they're being judged by what they wear, or feel like they can't shop at that store anymore since the store doesn't have their size. If over weight people want you work there, I would let them because I don't see anything wrong with it. You're there to make money, not worry about somebody's wight. Consumers shop there to buy clothes, not look at the people working and say they're too big for this job. Abercrombie and Fitch is a clothing store, and should have sizes available to everyone who walks into that store, no matter how big or small they are.
ReplyDeleteI agree Kayla.
DeleteThe article I just read was very disrespectful. Nobody should be judged for their weight. They can`t help it if they are over sized. Now I wonder why my grandma never wants to go in Ambercrombie and Fitch with me just to see what kind of clothes they have. Yes people are over weight but that should not stop them from wearing all the popular clothes now. People who own a business should only worry about one thing and that is to make money not worry about who can wear the clothes they sell. Ambercrombie and Fitch need to stop worry about who can worry their clothes and worry about how much money they have to make. Oversize people are still human like me and you so don`t look at them weird because they have feelings you know
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
DeleteWhat this man has said has got to be the most horrid thing ever! People shouldn't be made fun of or be told what not to wear that's just stupid. Lewis should be brought into court. You don't know story you have no idea why they could be over weight they could have a disorder or they could be really depress. How about instead of making fun or being mean, You try to help the person out or don't even say anything about them. I think i have one jacket that's Abercrombie & Fitch and now that I have read this im going to throw it away. Anyways back to the subject This man should know what he is doing is wrong! Ive looked him up and he should pick up a mirror every once in a while because he isn't the cutest! I think this man should start selling XXL clothes for girls, or maybe people should just stop wearing his clothing and show him that this is a big deal.
ReplyDeleteChas - I am so proud of how you have developed this year. This is an excellent response with your opinion and even a call to action. Way to go girl!!
DeleteThank you Mrs.Downey That really means a lot to me! (:
