the worst stores, everr, group complaining is more fun Options

[transcendentalis...]

so let's talk about stores that plenty of people love so much, but you (or we?) just don't get.

number one on my list is american eagle.
the number of girls sporting their signature back pocket design on their jeans has definitely gone down since middle school, but come on... their jeans don't have that great quality, and they're still selling them at $40, $50, or even $60 a piece from what i remember. the fading and washes are just not that great either.

also, their tops? how passe. terrible quality as well and tacky designs. some of their hoodies have acceptable quality, but the design is still so so so tacky. i just don't understand what people see in this store. occasionally they'll come out with a cute accessory, but for the most part they look ridiculously cheap and are only variants of the collections from before.

complain away!

I don't hate these stores, per se, but they're just so overrated. Quality's not up to par half the time (I bought a T-shirt from Abercrombie that started pilling IMMEDIATELY), prices are incredibly unreasonable and the styles are so...the same. I can think of so many other stores that offer much more than these ones do.

Another store I hate: The Gap. It's not bad, if you want to buy basics. But isn't the whole point of said basics to buy something that you can wear for many, many years? The Gap throws out pair after pair of khaki pants and pushes a billion different button-down shirts and blue jeans with shitty washes and crappy cuts, and it's not surprising that they're not doing well. Who wants to keep buying the same thing? Everytime I step into my neighbourhood Gap, it's a complete snoozefest.
