Hollister Hiring..."Cool and Good Looking People"

[mtlwlu]

My local mall is getting a holister, similar to American Eagle type clothing, geared towards teens and young adults, anyways on the sign they're hiring "cool and good looking people" I couldn't help but think that even before an interview begins it would be over based on the way someone looks...I dunno but to me thats bad business and lacks morals.

Morals + Capitalism = Recession

Lack of morals and responsibility is what led to the recession so far.

With the way people look in the states now, I can understand them wanting to weed out the warpigs and fatties. They have an image to sell after all. But "good looking" is very ambiguous and differs from person to person. You can simply say fit or looks in shape.

I used to work at a hollister back in the day when I was 18-19. They do hire based on looks for the most part, and that place is a gold mine for hot chicks.

you think every interview you have isnt based on how you look?

i certainly hope you're not that misguided.

when you interview, you are effectively SELLING YOURSELF. if you have a better product to back up your salesmanship, you've got a better chance of sealing the deal...

some people don't wanna hear it, especially on here, but there have been tons of studies done on taller men making more money on average per year and stuff like that. im tall, good looking, in good shape, and i know how to talk. so i get jobs when i go in for interviews.

the point is, take care of yourself and make the product that you're selling in your interviews (yourself) be the best thing on the market! ... which is essentially the entire point of this forum regardless of if it violates your morals or not...

The NYC store has half naked models running around... So yeah, its all aobut looks for them. (Hate the store, thier perfume, or what ever smell it is stinks up half of SoHo)

Lots of hot chicks though...

Its called SMART business marketing.

Good looking people sell more products than ugly people. No one cares about ugly. Notice how guys are commenting on all the ATTRACTIVE women working there. Same thing goes for women. If a lot of good looking guys work at holister women will spend more money and market to their girlfriends.

"Those holister guys are so hot, lets go check em out...ohh look at this shirt its cute ill take 3"

If your UGLY, INSECURE or UGLY and INSECURE...you probably have nothing to offer the business anyways..

Most cultures have a pretty clearly defined image of what is "good looking." I think we could all take a look at pictures of various women and could mostly agree on which ones were hot and which ones are not.

What he said. It's just bid'ness.

I have a friend who worked at Abercrombie as a "model", and if it makes you feel any better, the "cool and good looking people" make just over minimum wage and probably are working only part-time hours unless it's a store with particularly high volume.

Look. It is America. That simply means no obese females. Hollister caters to the dregs of American society - Middle Americans. I can deal with the poorest of Americans and the wealthiest of Americans. Everything else scares the hell out of me.

Why do you keep posting this anti American drivel? I have already proven that you are a 30 year old geek living in his parents basement in Topeka Kansas.

Hey, I'd like a room at the Kiev Hilton? Can you help a brother out? Oh that's right, I guess an actual Hilton Hotel existing there would help out huh?

In addition, based on what you just posted? YOU. ARE. GAY.

You know, if you really want to be effective you have to get under his skin a little bit. Bruise the ego. Kinda lame retort here.
Being such a hot shot trader, I'd expect you to be able to read in between the lines better.

Morals + Capitalism = Recession

Lack of morals and responsibility is what led to the recession so far.

With the way people look in the states now, I can understand them wanting to weed out the warpigs and fatties. They have an image to sell after all. But "good looking" is very ambiguous and differs from person to person. You can simply say fit or looks in shape.

I do agree that morals had some part of the recession but the entire concept of the business cycle is a scam by bankers. During the 1800's bankers began controlling currency circulation for entire countries, and when certain people stood against these bankers they have either engineered an economic crash or attempted assassinating the person.

In this case they brought down the economy during Andrew Jackson's presidency which they tried to assassinate to force him to pass a bill, And when Lincoln would not stop printing the interest free greenbacks after the war they assassinated him. Once they were in control, they depleted the amount of currency in the economy which created mass poverty and economic down turn for years after the civil war.


Claiming that morals and capitalism itself caused the recession is completely farce and I would even say that you were trying to hide the real truth. As long as a country is debt to the bank and people continue to trust their money with banks, then they have the power to build up and crash the economy as they wish like they been doing for the last 200 years.

Morals + Capitalism = Recession

Without the mindset that accompanies capitalism, you would still be swinging clubs and dancing around campfires grunting to each other wearing a loincloth.

Your only moral responsibilities are to not initiate the use of violence against another, and not steal from another.

It's Socialism that led to the financial crisis, and the realization by the central banks that they could extort money from the tax payer (you) simply because they failed and were in need.

Hollister can do what it wants. If you don't like the way they do business, don't buy from them. If enough people feel the same way, then they won't be hiring anybody and will be filing bankruptcy instead. If you continue to buy from them then don't complain.

Thanks EA_Gold and Alle_Gory for your accurate descriptions, though I would say it's corruption rather than morality that caused it. Bad men will do what they can to steal from the good ones if they aren't held at bay. Those who were supposed to be sentinel against bad men instead let it happen.

a big jump to conclusions

aww i bet you dont even know what socialism really is... watching too much FOX news???

rather liitle to do wiht "socialism" and everything to do with "unregulated capitalsim"... thime and time again industries prove they cannot self-regulate


(a simplified version but...)
it was caused by irresponsible "casino capitalism" and it started in the USA givng loans to people who couldnt afford them, then by all the banks across the world (especially in the UK) shifting the toxic money around for short term profits rather than longer term resonsibility.... the banks had to be bailed out otherwise many of us normal innocent people who have our money/accounts in those institutions would be screwed....

if there was no bail-out theyd have gone under then many little people would be Fu.cked ... goverment did its job, to protect people, although better regulations could have prevented it in the first place, as the banks wouldnt have been able to lend to people they shouldnt have lent to...

there wasnt a bail out in teh 1930's and that resulted in The Great Depression, another depression was prevented

some of you guys need to take BIG Jimbo less personally... its a joke... and its often funny

totally
most people want to be part of something, if they work or buy from there they think they are good looking.... they are just sheep !

@ kingsam:

I agree with you somewhat. Unregulated capitalism in a way, however capitalism implies free market, and a select few brokerage firms lending funny-money to governments around the world is not free market.

I wholeheartedly favor capitalism, however there are boundaries and one of those is around the money supply of a nation. The large brokerage firms gambled with the money supply of nations until the bubble popped. That was the end of the 'capitalist' side.

Then a whole new problem was the banks grabbing citizens of supposedly free countries by the balls and saying "give us your money". We conceded, and so these brokerage firms were allowed to socialize their losses through the lender of last restort (you).

I would rather we be in the midst of a great depression'esque catastrophe than have let a select few banks get away with the largest heist in human history.

We propped up fraudulent firms, thereby validating their methods.

One could postulate that another Great Depression was prevented(forestalled?), but only because we were held at gunpoint for our tax money. It doesn't fix the root cause.

One could say it began with the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999, one could argue it began with the Federal Reserve Act 1913, and one could argue that it's been happening ever since mankind got together and said "hey lets live together in a society" and didn't punish those who would live off the labor of others. I would say all three contributed. I'm sure there are plenty more reasons too.

aww i bet you dont even know what socialism really is... watching too much FOX news???

I don't appreciate the ad hominem remarks, though it is a dating board so it's to be expected. Personally I don't watch mainstream brainwashi... I mean mainstream media so I don't know what you're talking about.

In my opinion, capitalism isn't an excuse for saying private interest should control all facets of society. I believe a nations people should be the only shareholders in their food supply and their currency supply, and those should never have been handed over to the private sector. There may be a few more but I feel those are the exceptions of society where capitalism should never have been allowed to go.

The purpose of government, to me is solely to protect the rights, freedoms, and liberties of every individual (not a majority. every individual. there is a difference) citizen. nothing more.

this requires the food supply to be controlled by the government and also the money supply, lest private offshore interests gain the ability(through money and food) to grab the country by the balls and make demands. Hey wait a minute...

I'd put my beliefs in with Thomas Jefferson's for the answer:

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.
