Abercrombie & Fitch Sucks

So A & F sucks, because they have good marketing and have convinced people to buy products why?

A & F's business practices are no where near as revolting as Wal-mart's. I mean, when Wal-mart first moves into an area (opens a store in a market it wasn't previously in) it will deliberately sell products below its costs to force its competitors out of business, typically small family owned been in business for decades businesses (mom and pop type stores). It's a business practice called "dumping" and it's illegal in the Unite States of America. Wal-mart has been fined for it multiple times. Wal-mart will also demand from the manufacturers it carries to continuously lower the price at which they sell their goods to Wal-mart by every year. If they say won't or can't Wal-mart simply threatens and then follows through, on dropping company A (American company for example) for company B (typically makes products in China or India). Since the USA and most other industrialized nations have a minimum wage or laws against child labor, slavery, sweat shops, etc. companies in those industrialized nations can't compete. Since Wal-mart is the largest retailer in the country, those manufacturer's are often forced to take losses on their products or use foreign labor, to reduce costs. And then more Americans become jobless, so you can save a bucks on a product and continue to encourage sweat shops, child labor, slavery, etc.

Perhaps, before making your statement "Abercrombie & Fitch Sucks," it would be better to research where and how its products are made. If they're made in the same place as Wal-mart, then the comment is well deserved, but at this time you have nothing to back up your opinion.

RE: Need2research

I love how you site my lack of research and don't any facts of your own to back up your opinion? Since when does my opinion need to have research behind it? You are making a points to say that A&F clothing isn't manufactured in the same way as Walmart but how do you know this? Do you have any proof that A&F manufacturing doesn't include dumping, child laborers, or sweatshops? You are turning this thread into a "Walmart Sucks" thread for no apparent reason. A&F clothing is made in Mexico, Sri Lanka, Macau, China, Hong Kong, and India, most of the same places Walmart clothing is made. The way I see it A&F clothing is actually synonymous to Walmart clothing except A&F is more expensive and they stamp their A&F logo on it. Shopping for clothing at Walmart is actually smarter (and this is my opinion) because at least you're getting what you pay for.

Anybody who owns Abercrombie and Fitch ("A&F") clothing should be able to tell that the materials are the same quality you find in clothing purchased at Walmart.

I never said A&F aren't made up of good business people. They are able to dupe millions of people to buy their sub par clothing, I just feel (and this is my opinion), that their clothing sucks and isn't worth the premium you pay for it.

If I am gonna pay $50 for a T-shirt, I want the 3rd world kid that made it included in the purchase...."Sir, here is your shirt...and Juan" Thank you, come again.
