Veritas Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 what boggles my mind is how much the media can make someone think that xx is cooler then xx which came out a few days prior to x. That whole thing just perplexes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That whole thing just perplexes.Exactly. The phenomenon isn't unique to rich people. Air Jordans might be some of the least-durable, ugliest shoes on earth, but they sell because they're expensive and a new style or color comes out every two weeks. People need to understand that, in order to have style, you must lead, not follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that is a example and a very exagerated one at that but still. Some people including myself dont mind spending the money to get the more "expensive" cloths. Why it bothers people so much at times that some people want to spend more is beyond me. When i buy a shirt for 30 or even 70 bucks it doesnt come out of your bank account so why the hell do you care and does it bother you so much? Most of you are alot older then me and you grew up in different times. Stop bitchen about the price no one makes you pay for it. So there is no reason for anyone to say its to much.

Buckeye23 Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Like it's been said before, what difference does it make if some one chooses to pay $x for a shirt when the same shirt be had for $y less? People can spend their money however they want. It may not make sense to you, but what does it matter? If buying clothes at Goodwill is your thing, that's great. If someone wants to drop $70 on a shirt, more power to them. Personally, I don't think I could buy clothes from a thrift store knowing that someone else was wearing those things before I was. That's just the way I feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevil Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 I guess some people might think we're crazy for what we pay for modifying our cars. We spend hundreds or thousands a year replacing perfectly good parts on our cars just to go faster or look better. We all have our vices. I'll leave expensive clothes to the women though, I'll blow my money on HP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack, you have the potential to debate well, but your arguments are contrary to each other. It would seem you only want to complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted September 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 I think this should be moved to the kitchen. I was just wondering if anyone worked there or knows about the corporate culture, company policies or any of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

street pilot Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 My girl worked there (dept. store) and quit after 3 days. Her co-workers were snobby, and management was too picky. One of my friends worked there and suddenly became too good for his old friends.... he started wearing A&F and hanging out with the people he met there. Went on to be a frat boy and I could tell you about his current mentality but I think you can pretty much guess it. If someone wants to wear their stuff, fine with me. I dont instantly hate that person... but I may scrutinize them a bit more than the average joe. Sadly though, as much as I hate stererotyping, I would bet a large part of the A&F shoppers are there to fit in, and a generalization can be made about their attitudes (maybe more so in the past than now); the ones I know and have met at least. Personally, you will not ever see me wearing their stuff. A lot of the reason is the price. Another part of the reason is the stuff looks old and dirty on the shelf. The biggest reason is because I hate what they stand for... their marketing tactics for instance. sweatshops. cultural diversity. I could go on. graemlins/gives.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
