I once heard a black comedian here in DC make fun of this store for not carrying any black color clothes (or something like that) I do not think I ever had any need to go to this store and I won't be going there anytime soon.
Here are evidently a lot of things that violate the "look policy" of Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister stores. For example, having a prosthetic arm. Or wearing an Islamic head scarf. According to the complaint a California woman filed with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, a Hollister store hired her, then fired after a visit from a district manager who found the scarf inappropriate work attire.
“Hani Khan, 19, of Foster City said was fired Monday at the Hollister clothing store at the Hillsdale Shopping Center. She was dismissed a week after a district manager visited the store, called her into a meeting and said she was not supposed to wear the scarf while at work, said Khan, who is of Indian and Pakistani descent.A representative from human resources joined the meeting by phone, and Khan said she had been told that she was in violation of the store's "look policy."
”
If this sounds familiar, it's because an Oklahoma Abercrombie & Fitch store allegedly declined to hire a 17-year-old Muslim woman specifically because of her headscarf.
