oh god. Fierce Cologne, supposedly #4 in the world. It's mandatory to "spritz" 10 pumps of cologne several inches from the clothes every hour, in addition to the scent spraying machines that only some stores have.

That amount of alcohol in the air makes your nails brittle and eyes red, if you work there all day like I did.

I have. I have also hired great people who are definitely what the company would've considered "too fat" but I really liked them and needed them.

Ha. Yes I've seen it. People get fat or new managers come in who disagree with the looks and bodies of the staff-very common problem. So that manager will fire them or take away all their hours, etc. It's pretty scandalous shit really but all too common. It is downright encouraged from the district managers and their bosses however. If your boss visits your store and ugly person, fat person or someone out of dress code is working, then you're in big trouble. fucked up huh?

Don't worry no one actually spritzs that much-but it still reeks. The employees hate it as much as you.

You just tell them blatantly, "We don't make XL for women." Back in 2005 and earlier, Abercrombie & Fitch trained its employees to purposely ignore, not help, and be snotty to it's customers. This created a "too good" image for them and was encouraged. The company and the program have literally no shame. years later, we now are forced to greet everyone you see and the program has changed.
