A&F never appealed to me.

Worn-in clothes can be had at the Salvation Army for way less.

the thing thats sucks is when i was shopping (with some friends, spending b-day money) they didn't have alot of stuff that were on sale/cheaper. i guess that's what the ontario mills is for. i probably won't buy anything their for myself for a while. but hey... i had to buy something, and not leave empty handed.

Well the thing about them being racist against asians have been around for awhile, but i did notice the store thing. I've been to acrombie's from san jo to LA, and i noticed there were never anyone of color working there. Then again i dont shop there much so my be just a weird correlation given the subject.

the best thing to do, is not shop there. that will hurt them the most, your money is your voice.
