Oh Abercrombie, how much do you suck? Let me count the ways


Alternate question: How can I boycott you when I never darken your doors to begin with?

See this girl:


She adorable right? Hard to imagine she'd violate the clothing store Abercrombie's "Look Policy", isn't it? (Yes, it's a whole other conversation to talk about why they have a Look Policy, and how they get away with it, but let's carry on, shall we?)

But no. According to this story on Jezebel, she violates it. She was told she could only work in the store room (after having been hired to be on the floor).

Why?

Well, check out more of the photo (Photo by David Crump):



Do you see it? Yes, her left arm is prosthetic. Apparently, despite having one of those new-fangled arm-like arms, and not an oh-so-scary 19th-century hook, it does not look whatever enough to please the powers-that-be at Abercrombie.

I almost wish I did shop at the store, just so I could withhold my shopping now. Sadly, I was never their demographic :)

But if you are? Isn't this just one more reason you shouldn't be?
