Hollister

I completely agree on the comparison to a seedy bar. Although it doesn’t bother me while I shop, I actually find it to be a nice break from the bright, cold lights and echoey atmosphere of the mall’s corridor. The problem is once you get into the dressing rooms. I have returned nearly every pair of jeans i have ever bought here because I didn’t realize how terrible they looked under normal lighting. I even went back once and tried to try a different pair on, thinking I could exchange them but when I asked the clerk if they could turn up the lights and let me use the wheelchair accessible room he claimed he didn’t have access to any light switches for the fitting rooms. The lights were even lower in the bigger room. My question: if thee peons can’t turn the lights on, how do they see to clean the place?! I just hope he was lying about that. I am sure they keep the lights low because everything looks more flattering and you’re less likely to make the effort to bring it back. My solution since they do have some good sales and fit petite women like me well: buy them and try them on at Forever21 right across the way and bring them straight back if necessary. Much easier than arguing with a teenaged cashier about why you need better lighting to check out your rear end.

I took my daughter and her friends to Hollister today and after each of the girls made their purchases the clerk gave them each a card with a website address where they could enter to win a Macbook — one was being given away every hour.
When we got home and none of the girls could enter the drawing we saw the fine print, the drawing had ended two days ago… three bummed customers.
