ok, we aren't talking about wether they hire white or not, but they don't just hire pretty people, some people need to get their facts straight, because if your posting on this topic you must have atleast read everything that went on before the last 6 posts.

this form is to get educated on why hollister is hiring only pretty people, but that's not the case, that's on the whole racist remarks abercrombie was accounted for on national television. ok.

i'm not pretty but i got hired, that's what my point is, you dont have to be pretty. just fit their image, why do you guys care? do you want to work there? if not, why post remarks that your not fully aware of here?

but that's just my point of view, because that's how i see it.

QUOTE(omg_melface @ Sep 29 2004, 9:38 AM)
why are you people taking things from just YOUR hollister and abercrombie in town? Who CARES if they weren't white but let me ask you something, were they GOOD LOOKING... that's what this is about.... if they don't hire you because you aren't white... then that's discriminating... but as for the good looking idea... there is no law saying anything about THAT being discriminating.... so they can hire whoever they want just as long as they aren't discriminating... I actually like hollister and abercrombie but i'm too poor... and here, the people actually greet you and say 'oh if you need help then just ask me' and i'm like "sure"... I'm NOT white... and I'm not "preppy"... sure, I do like they're clothes but who says you have to be of one specific social group to shop there? I like variety. And the same thing goes for Hot Topic... I will walk in there and buy a band shirt while I'm sitting there wearing a miniskirt and an american eagle shirt...
So, no, they aren't stuck up here and they're not all white but they ARE all good looking... and the employees are not racist here and they aren't rude... but maybe that's because of the southern hospitality... and the employers are not discriminative... so i don't see what the problem is... so what if they don't hire you because you are ugly, if you really cared about the job then go buy a new face...
Plus, say... I were shopping somewhere that had both good looking and ugly people... i WOULD ask the good looking person for help... and not the ugly person... sure, that's selective... but what i'm trying to say is that the good looking person attracts more people... more customers are helped because the person who is attending them is good looking and such... Does anyone understand this? ANYONE?

Mel you make a good point.

I was gonna try to get a job at hollister but my poor grades stopped me, Some of my friends work there , And the people who i dont know are still very nice , Like mel said they greet you, and ask if u need help , But back to the topic.

No they dont only hire White people , As for hot looking, yes , of course, if ur sporting a specific image, u want ur customers to fit that image right? Anyways I'm taller and more toned than most of the guys that work at my local hollister, and no they arent asian lol, not that im saying there are no asian employees cuz they're are....BLAH ANYWAYS .

Good looks = Perhaps , Race = no.

I agree ^ The Hollister I shop at has all races.. I think they base it on certain qualifications such as attractiveness etc.

It really doesn't depend on the company but rather on the manager or whatever.

Your right. I think some stores do that. But, I can sort of see why. You want nice looking people representing your store... But I think it'd make more sense to get a mixture of people. Maybe that'd attract a more diverse consumer. They'd sell more that way...

maybe. The employees from Hollister and Abercrombie are usually rude and stubborn. I know from experience, although the male employees are pretty attractive wink.gif

I like shopping at American Eagle. their clothes are adorable and the employees are so sweet.

I've heard that too...I think it's true. The people who work there...are basically their models. My sister worked there. She was only allowed to wear something labeled hollister. If it wasn't from holllister it had to atleast look like something someone would buy there. But yeah I think it is somewhat based on physical appearance.
