You're Selling What???

After working at a mall over this past summer, I've come to realize that there are some stores that are good-quality and are worth buying, but then there are others that look like the owners are just trying to make bank....boo on them. One in particular that I've come to dislike is American Apparel. Granted, it's trendy, affordable, and is well known. But, some things coming out of the store are dumb. For example, the hooded swimsuit:

I thought the point of wearing a swimsuit was to show off the bod? What's the use of this excess hood? Whatever....

Another thing that the store is currently doing is a "Best Butt Contest," where people from all over send in pictures of their butts......What?!? Is it just me, or is this an invitation for people to start prostitution?

Again...whatever. I don't see the point in this other than to solicit prostitution, fo real. And don't worry, there's also a male butt contest as well, but I'll spare you.

Looking at their website, I notice that they advertise they're business is doing well and have many job opportunities. But, if you look closer, there are comments of people whom claim they've applied numerous times and have not heard a single word from the stores. Plain and boring clothes (no prints or patterns), soliciting sex (about as bad as Abercrombie), false advertising of job opps, and useless articles of clothing? That's a no-go for me. On top of all that, the New York Post has reported that the company as trying to avoid bankruptcy! Maybe expanding the store to Brazil should be at the bottom of their check list? Just a thought.
