I didn't know much about these stores, as I am in my mid 40's, but apparently they really suck, and on a number of levels.

1. A&F was originally a Century old brand

that originally marketed bush jackets, pith helmets, and leather trunks for the world adventurer type with customers like Teddy Roosevelt. However, in the past decade or so, it has been re branded as this overpriced metro-sexual, gentrified yuppie store that caters to "affluent" youth, :puke: although it has certainly kept the Caucasian clientele and expensiveness one would associate with a company that once sold bush jackets, pith helmets, and leather trunks.
The bottom line is, A&F sucks and is racist and discriminatory to those that aren't blond haired, blue eyed, 6 footers with no history of illness or disability short of a cold.
