I was walking around the mall today with my sister and some guys ran after us (literally cuz we were walking away real fast after their sketchy sounding calls of "hey ladies") and offered us jobs at abercrombie. Said no cause I'm leaving for school soon but damn, they were good looking.

Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else here? _smile.gif I thought it was interesting to say the least.. I always heard they did that but never actually saw it. Do you think it says anything about discrimination based on looks/dress style? (or maybe I'm really ugly, and they like diversity in their employees)? tongue.gif

EDIT>
People's responses are interesting because I myself am half asian (and I look pretty asian too). And one of the guys was black. So maybe they've let go of the whole white thing?
Does this change your impressions at all, knowing I'm not white?

PS, I don't think I've ever bought a single item of clothing from abercrombie in my life tongue.gif So this was a very surprising experience.
Although to tell the truth I do enjoy the half naked posters wink.gif

Hell naw. I've only been to an Abercrombie store once in my life, and the male model-esque white boy rolled his eyes at me, just because I fished around in my wallet for some change for FIVE SECONDS. Okay, so I realize I'm like the only Asian person you've seen all week, but no need to be such a dick.
