    You know a nation has a gun problem though when they insist on sales assistants being armed :P

    To be fair to A&F though, she does look a bit hands-off

    I wouldn't personally but I think she has a very dis-arming smile.

    Ya you're right, she's going through a tough time already - what, with being left in limb-o by her employer and all....

    She could always win the lawsuit and get a bionic arm out of it, so I am not sure that's a very even-handed way of looking at things.

    I never realised there was such an anti-A&F brigade, I think their t-shirts and polos are very nice I have lots of them already and A&F aftershave ftw. Oh and no it wouldnt stop me buying A&F because I like their stuff.

    yeah think of all the people who have hooks for hands next time you are plashing on your A&F aftershave with your non-plastic hands

    Uni-Arm discrimination is just not acceptable.

    We need to stump it out now.

    How is it hypocritical? I don't see the connection between a newspaper printing scandalous lies about a group of people and someone being told to work in a different room in a building? It may be a bit unfair but she was not fired and its hardly enough to put people off a company.

    Almost every multinational company has some form of bad press like this, or a lot worse, from time to time. We dont even know that its true.

    If everybody stopped buying a product beacuse of a story in the paper the world would be a strange place.

    I agree with that people would have to stop buying
    nestle
    coca cola
    mc donalds
    burger king
    KFC
    starbucks
    and many other things

    Abercrombie do nice clothes but are rediculasly over priced...In the store in London they hire people to do the most mundane things like there is a guy standing their with his top off all day...just standing there...It makes you think "wow maybe if they didnt hire people for stupid things,they wouldnt be such a fecking rip off!

    Going back to the earlier problem, I think it depends on the Audi. If the model begins with an 'R' or an 'S', it's probably fairly safe.

    On the other hand, those who get the cheapest, base model version (kindof like the BMW 316 was back in the day) probably deserve what they get.

    NTM

    Some girls do end up doing solo-hand jobs in stockrooms - it's not the end of the world.

    To get my own back, I would just run out from the stock room, through the entire shop screaming "THEY'RE TURNING ME INTO A MANNEQUIN!":p

    Maybe they don't pay him. Maybe he just likes doing that.

    why are Irish "omigod" types so obsessed with this label? From what i can see it seem people from "The Hills" and wannabe American D4 accent Irish people are the only people in the world that wear the stuff. How did this fascination start?

    People from The Hills don't usually wear Abercrombie actually. In fact I actually can't remember seeing any of The Hills girls wear A&F stuff.
