About this deal
The unnamed manager was asked how Abercrombie and Fitch responds to the requests by non-profit organizations to have their clothing donated to the poor. In today's world, consumers are looking for altruistic companies, not those littered with biases and preoccupied with superficiality. The manager had no shame at all when admitting that the company downright refuses to send any clothing to those in need.

It's people who dedicate their lives to helping those in need who should be endorsed and idolized, not those who don't value compassion and generosity. Think of all the clothing they could have donated to people like the Katrina victims, or for the Haiti relief. Abercrombie and Fitch doesn't want to create the image that just anybody, poor people, can wear their clothing. An interview from 2 years ago with an Abercrombie and Fitch District Manager who requested to remain nameless will make the now-viral comments CEO Mike Jeffries made about fat people seem harmless and light-hearted. Abercrombie and Fitch is the preferred retailer for those who only think they have class and elegance, but really they're a bunch of posers with bad attitudes and fake tans.
