    Isn't this the second time this has happened recently?
    How KICK ASS of a wardrobe must you have if you only think to steal lingerie? If I had $5k (stolen or not) to spend, it sure as hell wouldn't be on UNDERWEAR.

    @SarsDoesntSave: Only a little worse than me thinking that if I had seven stolen credits cards, one of the last things I'd buy, somewhere on the list underneath marshmallows and a pair of skis, is underwear.

    Give me a break! Hooters doesn't hire fat girls, neither do casinos. If a particular company doesn't want a prosthetic arm flaying about in front of their customers, they should be able to ask her to go to the stockroom. Even McDonalds shoves guys to the kitchen and leaves the women upfront as cashiers. Abercrombie and Fitch is well known for their "look" of skinny white teens and college kids running around and having a great time. That sells clothes. Prosthetic arms do not.

    Next thing you know they'll get sued because their ads don't have wheelchair kids in them.

    @iamjames: So let me get this straight. Just because other companies have discriminatory hiring practices makes this one right too? I'd sue them all. If a person is fully able to do the job that he or she was hired for, he or she should be able to keep that job. Period. Using other examples of clearly-wrong discrimination doesn't make what A&F did right.

    And A&F catalogs are full of vapid, blank-staring, limp-posing models that look like drug-addled junkies or coma patients. Especially a lot of the women. I think a dude playing basketball in a wheelchair would be a definite improvement.

    @saya: I approved your response, Saya, not iamjames' response. Tertiary fire, I guess.

    I agree- she deserves more compensation from a company that prides itself on its racist, discriminatory policies. Riam Dean is perfectly capable to work on the front lines in a clothing store- not that it's something I'd wish upon her, but if is what she chooses to do, she should be able to do it.

    @iamjames: I agree. They might be a sucky company, but there is reason that front-end Abercrombie employees are categorized as "models"- and its exactly so law suits like this can be avoided.

    @TheJacqueline ValJean: Actually, only the two people who stand at the front of the store and literally do nothing else are considered models, and they're not there all the time. All of the other employees are "brand representatives," and since there aren't models there every day (usually only on weekends, holidays and/or big shopping days like Black Friday) sometimes "brand representatives" stand at the front of the store for an entire shift and greet and recruit people, based on their appearance of course. Still, that classification does not protect the company from discrimination suits. They're actually lucky they got away with it in this case. Usually they don't.

    Oh, for the love of fuck. Are you serious? So she was harassed, but not discriminated against? I may be over sensitive, but being sent to work in the stockroom because she didn't look right goes a bit beyond harassment.

    i'm going to be honest.... i sometimes enjoy thomas kinkade paintings. not because i think he has depth of an artist, i mean you've seen one you've seen them all... but at least it is an entry level way for people to stop at the mall and think, "perhaps clothing isn't all there is to life? maybe i will go to a museum some time."
