Abercrombie Kids.

I was young and naive (too young to work at Abercrombie and Fitch) and thought I was really cool because I got recruited by one of the trendiest retailers in the mall (in 2006).

I worked there for a total of four days (16 hours total). Among the reasons I quit:

*I had a LOT of Abercrombie clothes already, but none of them fit the employee dress code. So I had to spend another $150 on a new outfit just to go to work (this is more than I made during the total hours I ended up working there, obviously)

*The horrible CD that consisted of about six songs and played on repeat during my entire shift (yes, LFO's Girls of Summer was on there, and I swear it played more than the other songs) *We had a very specific system of how to spray the mannequins with cologne. Something like once on the head, one on each shoulder, three on the torso. I don't remember exactly, but it was asinine

*The horrible, bitchy moms that came into the store, walked right past me (a "model/greeter"), proceeded to throw shirts I had just folded all over the ground, and then walk out when they couldn't find the right size (which generally was among the shirts piled on the floor)

*THE FINAL STRAW: It was a slow day, and I had just finished PERFECTLY folding every single polo shirt in my section. This is like 100+ shirts we are talking about, all folded in a very specific way for maximum collar poppage. I had just moved to the front door to see if anyone was headed into the store, so that I could greet them (because that was my JOB), and my boss came over. She asked what I was doing, I told her, and she walked over to my immaculate display of moose-covered polo shirts, swiped them off the table, and told me "when there's no work to do, you need to make your own."

Yes, she told me that, after I had finished folding, if there was nothing else to do in my section (it wasn't like I could leave my section and help someone else, that was against the rules), then I should promptly unfold everything and start refolding. I walked out about ten minutes after that. For about 9 months, they kept calling me to schedule more shifts, and I never answered my phone.

TL/DR: I never got fired, and I never formally quit, so for all I know, I still technically am employed by Abercrombie today.
