While I do know that most stores aren’t allowed to take display clothing done, I would think that with a celeb, they would make it happen. Should they? No, that only caters to a fantasy world of getting whatever you want with a hissy. But I think most would.

Also, to WHY?: I’ve heard of those fainting goats before!

That Jackie Kennedy look definitely
doesn’t work for Cameron.

When I was 12, I had a friend who lived off the main road of town. Next to her house was an empty lot where we used to run and play tag. But these activities became old, and one day we decided to wander over to the house on the left. Actually, to the fenced-in yard of that house.

In this pen there were seven small goats. As we watched them, an old car drove by and its engine backfired. Right then we saw every one of those goats fall over. We stood wide-eyed in amazement as each goat lay lifeless before us: We thought they’d died. Then, slowly, each one got up and continued grazing as if nothing had happened. We dubbed them “Jesus goats.”

my question is why she would throw a fit when she has the money to make her own shirt? If I was as rich as her, I wouldn’t be shopping at Abercrombie anyways.

PS: Wow, there’s actually another person on here with the name Genevieve! Cool!

I work for abercrombie. Clothes on the mannequin are owned by the store (impact team to be exact) so they are not for sale. Most have been altered to fit mannequins and stretched, knotted or cut so it would be lame to sell that to someone. I know its ridiculous, but stuff on display is not for sale… no matter who you are.

how weird that it’ their policy, but wouldn’t they want to shift that last sale or something?

I worked in H&M and in a department store and if it was the last item on display, we’d sell it because…what’s the point of having it on display? Not only is there no more in stock of it TO display, but it’s also false advertising, because it suggests that there’s more where that came from in the shop.

But to call the staff (who are probably tweens) names is in poor taste, IMHO.

Alrighty then, judging by all these “I used to work there” posts, it sounds to meeeeee like the person who made this story up tried buying something off an Abercrombie mannequin and was turned down…. so they made this up either because they wanted to retaliate against A&F (although it’s not exactly BAD publicity so it’s not working) orrrr it was a slow news day so they thought “hhhmmm, that sounds like a good story for Cammy D”.

I believe this story is bogus. There is no such thing as a Jesus Goat t-shirt by Abercrombie & Fitch.

Its amazing what people will believe.

I happen to be a retail store manager, and while I have MANY issues with the sub par customer service that Abercrombie is known for, this is a standard response from any boutique/specialty store which has multiple outlets with very active corporate involvement. In the franchised boutique setting, the merchandise that is shown on display is standardized, so that it cannot be taken down by retail employees- normally, display merchandise is considered the property of the merchandising department and not available for sale.

Much more disturbingly, I can say that Cameron’s behaviour is the NORMAL response made by middle-age female and teenaged customers alike. I am not surprised that she threw a hissy fit because I see this immature behaviour every day from full grown adults.
It is both annoying and inconsiderate for customers to accost multiple employees (manager and associate) in order to have a “special” allowance made for them. The world does not revolve around you.
Next time the item is not available in the store, ask POLITELY if there is any way that the employee can either reserve the item once it is taken down or request a transfer from another store. We will work miracles for you, but only if you are polite. I will not, under any circumstance, bend the rules for someone who does not show me the respect a fellow human being deserves.

Have a great day!
