The hollister store in our mall scares the shit out of me. The outside of it looks like the entrance to a shack straight out of a Jimmy Buffet song. Plastic shackles and all. The "roof" is coated in Christmas lights year round. It looks like a hokey men's clothing store. Yet, the outside isn't the scariest thing about it;
You walk in the wide entrace and there are two wicker chairs. Why? I have no fucking clue. Noone ever sits in them, they just sit there. Then, you get to choose a door. Ooooh, a fun little game. You can go through the doorway that has some stupid synonym for girl, or one that has another synonym for boy, like 'Dude' or 'Stud'. So I walk through the 'Chick' doorway. The store is exceptionally dark, and loud music is playing. I feel like im entering some evil, haunted carnival. The second I walk in, 5 anarexic saleswomen swarm around me welcoming me and asking if I need help.
This is it. My heart starts beating fast. My blood is pumping. I feel lightheaded. Goddamnit, I can't take it anymore. I leave. A wave of relief comes over me after I walk quickly past those stupid chairs.

I think the funniest thing about Hollister (I've only ventured inside the gates once) is that they have someone assigned specifically to meander around the store all day, spraying some kind of sickningly strong fragrance everywhere. When I was there, I asked the guy who was doing it if that was his only job, and he said yes. I think that's rediculous. Plus, it replaced one of my favorite stores in the mall...damn you, Hollister...damn you!

Thanks for the comments. I totally agree. The spraying job is what they give to the hot people who can't read.
This reminds me of a lovely little abercrombie story i have: I went to their store in Indianapolis and outside there was a halfnaked woman in a mini skirt and bikini top and a man with no shirt. Hot people, none the less. They just stood there looking pretty. If i was that hot, i woud love a job like that. A walking billboard. yippee!

i love hollister. its my favorite store. okay, so the outside looks like a shack, well they'd probably be happy to hear that..cuz idk if u noticed but several of the shirts and things say "Cali Surf"..surf..as in surf SHACK..so its meant to look like a shack. the girls that work there are not anerexic..i know this because i work there. yes im thin, but anerexic?..no. we greet every customer at the entrance because its a kind thing that we do, its part of our job. Im sorry that our store replaced one of your favorites, there is nothing that can be done about that. Everyone has their own style, mine happens to be hollister and abercrombie, thats just the way it is. i dont post messages about how much i hate other styles, because i dont hate other styles, they way someone dresses is their choice. So..im sorry that u "Hate Hollister"..but posting little messages, doesnt make a difference. The girls and i will still greet every customer at the door, we will still be thin, and there will always be the nice decorative chairs infront of our vintage "surf shack" ...thanks for your opinion! bye!
