Can I just say that Abercrombie and Fitch is a stupid store? Seriously. I had to take Anna there tonight to get this "have to have" shirt on clearance so that she could wear it on her first day of high school. (AAAGGGGHHHHHH!) Anyway, I don't get this store: they play terrible music at 250 decibels; they spray their clothing with this strange perfume (I'm not kidding; Tyler and Kyle can probably verify it). And they charge ridiculous prices for anything not on sale. Like $40 and up for flimsy cotton shirts and skirts that should be outlawed.
I agreed to take Anna because she really wanted this particular shirt and it wasn't outrageous in appearance. Plus it was a treat for her first day as a freshman (AAAAGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!) Plus it was on clearance.
Anyway, we get there and get the shirt only to realize at the checkout (which is always manned by the dumbest guys - preppie, muscular and very dumb) that I don't have my credit cards with me. OK now who's dumb? Anyway I ask the guy to hold onto the shirt and we'll be back. "Um..." he says "I can hold it for like five minutes; we're really not supposed to hold anything here." (It's a shirt on clearance, for God's sake. Try holding onto your brains moron before they slip through your ear canals and get squashed on the floor).
Anna and I drive all the way back home and I grab my credit cards. We head back to Abercrombie and see the shirt tossed onto a table behind the checkout. "I'm back for that shirt behind you," I tell the same blockhead at the register. And he just looks at me like I have three heads and reaches for some tank top next to him. "Noooo... the shirt BEHIND you that you couldn't put on HOLD," I say, wondering if I've been gone so long that he really can't remember me or the shirt. He turns around, points to the shirt and actually says, "This one? You sure?"
Seriously. It's a stupid store. We bring the shirt home and Anna and Meghan make this big dramatic play of smelling it because of this spray Abercrombie puts on all its clothes. Oh, and by the way, I bought a shirt for Meghan there too. On clearance. I'm thinking she'll be ecstatic. Only once she sees it, she's thumbing her nose at it; Abercrombie is NOT on Meghan's "fashion DO" list this year.
Stupid store.

Caroline doesnt like that store either..she says the stuff falls apart in the wash. Sounds like the help does too!
so how come you didnt write about the fact that the foo foo dog doesnt have anyone who wants to take care of it and its 12 million? Apparently the appointed guardian of Leona's baby doesnt want it!!
I HATE that store...sorry I got Caroline the gift cert. there for her bday, but the boys told me she had some clothes from there, so I went in and came out DEAF from the music there, and ashtmatic from the damn perfume! Some chick behind the counter wanted to know if I had a fav perfume...UM NO...I HATE THE SMELL OF THIS PLACE I believe is what I said to her and told her to hurry up so I could get out of here! This was after she totally ignored me and chatted with a co-worker while I was standing right in front of her!!! I felt it was my duty to be rude back!!! Hate that store!!!!!
