Are all Hollister and A&F shops similar to the one in the Trafford Centre? i.e. you can't see the clothes properly because its too dark  nice stuff on the website but I ran out of patience in the store with this stupid lighting and claustrophobic feel to the place and didn't buy anything. Few other people in there were making similar comments to me too.

The Bluewater one is the same as well. You either can't see where you're going, you walk in to people, clothing racks, or you get hit in the face with random trees everywhere  fit birds though, that makes up for it a bit

Everyone in there seems to think they are really cool. Yeah fit birds that work there though (from what I could make out in the darkness).
Seems a ridiculous idea for a store. Stunk to high heaven of various fragrances too, saw one of the women that worked there wandering round spraying it all over the spot.

I dunno how they do that well. As you say, its so damn claustrophobic and you can barely move with walking in to someone or something. Abercrombie isn't as bad, its just they have a stupid amount of people that are in the store at one time.

My missus hates that shop. When it was first opened we couldn't work out how the fuck you were supposed to get in, or what it actually was!!

I ended up going in as I thought it looked like a strip club  nah I walked past and wondered what the hell it was then later I wanted to know where Hollister was so looked on the store finder computers and it said that spot was it, would never have known if I hadn't checked.

Its mad. Can't be good for marketing etc!
Haven't actually been in yet. Might be fun trying to take a buggy in!

Would be a nightmare mate. You go up a step or 2 to the entrance then it steps down again to go inside. You'd struggle manoeuvring a buggy round once you got in too as its badly laid out.

New one just opened in Glasgow last week.
the A&F in New York is the same, you would think it was a nightclub.

A&F shops smell of the Fierce aftershave = best aftershave available. I've got a quarter bottle left I'm savouring to fuck.

Honestly I've never known anything like it Ed Was still loads of people buying things though, guess they don't care what they end up with as long as it says Hollister on it

I've already got a few V-necks, checked shirts and jeans. I don't want cardigans and I don't think they sell anything other than that there. Looking forward to when it opens then

are you joking!? They are about 16 and all talk like the are from Surrey! Oi heard two of the girls and a boy talk about se other girl being fingered, I was shcoked and the place seems to have no management. They remind me of something out of the hills but incredibly false. I hate the whole image accosiated with hollister. I would like it so much more if it was sold in normal shops

Shell it's abercrombie in a different name. The style/quality of clothes is exactly the same. But about 30% cheaper
