things I'll never do again

[ericlee]

shop in another Abercrombie and Fitch store.

The mrs and I are having a great time shopping/ buying things for each other. She suggests we check that place out, I'm like sure, maybe I'll find a t-shirt for me or something she'll like.

We get there, there's a line. After 10 mins in line, I'm feeling antsy and say, "christ's sakes, you'd think we were waiting for a kick ass concert, not to shop in a damn store". People in line looked at me crazy, my wife giggled. There was also a strong smell of cologne coming from the store.

We finally get inside, there was some guy standing inside in a pair of jeans with no shirt on. Great for the female shoppers, he had great abs and such.

Bumping techno music. Shitty techno that is. I like some techno but not some commercial Madonna remakes.

Anyhow, after 5 minutes of pounding techno and a strong ass cologne stench, I had a headache that was unbearable and told the mrs that I'll be waiting outside.

Worst shopping experience ever.

I've seen this same schtick at the A&F store near me.

Model-looking dudes with no shirts on playing grab-ass with each other... I thought they were marketing to gay guys

[Bob]

so wait, there was a line to get in the store?

did they at least have people handing out free drinks inside or something?

and it is pretty ridiculous how strongly stores like that smell of perfume or cologne or whatever. they must put it in the vents or something

[TurdBerglar]

i bought some cargo shorts from holister(i think A&F owns them) once. the zipper came off the the button as well within the first month of owning them. i still wear them using safety pins to hold the fly together. i've had them since 02 and they're my favorite pair of shorts but after that i planned on never shopping there again and i never did. the store is all weird and the people working their are all spiked hair smirky douches.

No free drinks.

And yeah, they had to have had the cologne coming from the vents because it totally took over the smell of NY. When you walk in, it smelled worse than a room full of old ladies that wear a half bottle of perfume each.

[ericlee]

Even some guy walked past and asked what the line was for and after people telling him it was for A&F, he was like "oooookay?"

i can't imagine waiting in line just to get into the store, wow....



i remember a while back i got some stuff from there for a gift, and since nothing fit i took it back and got a gift card. i think it was 2 shirts i had, and they gave me a $25 card.

after realizing that i couldnt get much of anything for my money, i found a pair of discount shorts and a pair of (what turned out to be crappy) sandals. it still cost me an extra fiver, even with the shorts being almost half priced. i don't think i'll be in there again either...

Yeah.

I have a 99-1 ratio of leaving a shop empty handed to leaving with a purchase so there's no way i'd queue just to walk around, be intimidated by the staff, half heartidly poke at some shirts then leave without making eye contact with anyone who works there...

[Waus]

We used to think it would be fun to go to one of those stores and just take off our shirt and stand near those guys. "Listen buddy, I'm just here to make you look good."

Glad to hear you're having fun with the Mrs. again! :)

It'd be great if it was a bar or something. Too bad it's a place for highschool kids and younger to buy clothes. Just shows what's expected of our youth.I feel sorry for kids with actaul brains these days.

:cool:

Dude, my hometown best pal lives in NY as well. He looks like Gilligan but skinnier. I've got a little gut. We will put that on queue for a fun boozin day. We are nutty enough to do so.

And thanks, the lady and I are doing better. I'm a patient man. I'll bitch and moan to get it out first and then diagnose and see how to make things better. Her cooperation helps improve things.

On an A&F related note, I'm standing post on Wall street and I see a girl with an A&F t-shirt on and she has an A&F paper bag in hand. She definitly came from shopping there cause as she passed by, that smell trailed behind her.

haha you like bars with shirtless men

[insertnamehere]

that sounds like basically every shopping experience ive ever had. it doesnt really matter where i go, i feel like im not cool enough to be there and i just water around and touch things and then leave without getting anything.

i desperately need clothes but i fail at shopping

as for A&F, i dont really need $40 tshirts, thanks

[sjp]

why go to A&F when you can go to Macy's for a $100 pair of pants and a $100 shirt

[QueenAdrock]

I have a friend who was hired as a model at A&F. I said, "Oh, so you work at the counter then?" and she told me no, her only job is to stand around wearing their clothes and smiling at customers. She can't even answer questions if they ask her stuff. She and her other coworkers dance and play around in the store and that's all they're supposed to do.

Why the heck do ya want to waste a perfect buzz?

And me on shrooms walking in there. I'm on top of the world when I'm shrooming. I act as I feel.

Haha. He's really got no defense against that being that his sig is smiley shades after every post.

C'mon fenders (none). I actually liked your reads and thought you'd make a great contribution to the doublebmb till you started signing your posts with cool smiley.
