As for the other guesses -- they don't exactly dignify a response. But rest assured that my view of abercrombie and fitch is influenced by neither my teenage experiences nor my weight and race.
I reviewed the company from the standpoint of a business writer, one who simply thinks a combination of tattered denim, snobby customer service and t-shirt bigotry may not be a winning formula for getting any retailer through the recession. (I did, by the way, reach out to abercrombie and fitchto ask for its reaction to my story and the comments; it did not respond).Well, the post did lack objectivity -- because Walletpop is a blog.
We break news, but we also comment on wider trends and draw our own conclusions from around the media landscape. There's a difference between a newspaper article and a blog post.
Dean's victory over the company proves that I'm not the only one who recognizes the company's persistent lapses in judgment. And its second-quarter earnings, due on Friday, will likely confirm that whether my theories are right or not, something isn't working at abercrombie and fitch -- same-store sales fell 32% in June and 28% in July, out-declining analysts' already sober expectations.
