This will be, in all likelihood, the only post I ever make about clothing or clothing retailers, but anyway…
As you all know, I’m not all that concerned about how I dress, and when I go shopping for clothes (which occurs about twice a year), I do so mainly out of a duty to replace worn-out clothing. When I do go shopping, there are two places in Lincoln that I can do so without making it a painful experience: Old Navy and Abercrombie & Fitch. Both stores, despite having wildly different target markets and ad campaigns, have something in common: sales staff who do not talk to me at all while I’m in the store. It’s a good thing.
Another note on A&F: While all their clothing is horribly overpriced and oh-so-tastefully conformist, they do make a T-shirt that will last nearly forever. I’m still wearing on a regular basis a couple of shirts I bought in summer 1999. Damn.
i also hate it when people try to talk to me in the store. i’ll get help if i need it, and that is a very rare occurence.
one time, in best buy, a salesperson came by to bug me, and i ignored him in my normal fashion. he wouldn’t stop bugging me until i looked up, and it was stevenson…
i have noticed that about a&f’s shirts as well.
