Horrific Hollister

by MacKenzie Riley

On Saturday I went to the mall with my Mom and we decided to go into a shop called Hollister. I personally know a lot of people who wear Hollister and thought that their stuff was cute but I’d never bought anything there myself. My Mom walked in first and one of their employees greeted her with a loud and obnoxious, "WHAT’S UP?" so she could be heard over the blaring, High School Musical music. My Mom was shocked and had to bite her lip from saying anything.
It was true that the clothes were really cute but the girls that worked there all looked the same. They were all really "pretty", skinny, had their boobs hanging out and straight blond hair. I thought that was ridiculous! This store was defiantly showing you the way that they want you to look and defiantly not what other people normally look like. You can be different from everybody else and this store was not showing that.
The dressing rooms were really weird too; they were really dark and had like spot lights in them that only showed like the lower half of your body. I don’t know if that’s supposed to make you look thinner or something but I decided not to buy anything. Why would I buy something from a store that I didn’t believe in?
I don’t know what Hollister is thinking but I know that it definitely lost my and my mom’s business just because of how they acted and their "have to be perfect" look. I was just unhappy at my Horrific Hollister experience.
