there really isn't a mens or womens side to most of the stores cause of the fact that all of the men's clothing is meant to be Unisex.
Go to the men's section and check out the clothes, you will see, "see a women in this style" on pretty much every item.
As far as stuff fitting tight. It is targeting the averaged sized male and meant to fit the averaged sized male. Sadly, the market for men is generally looked at as being for 5'11" beefy males and overweight American's. Not the case. Dov was looking to target the men that the Gap and Abercrombi seem to forget. So if you are overweight, chances are you can't shop at AA. But hey, Layne Bryant doesn't make a signle item that fits me, so I don't think the Gap sized XXLs can be too angry about this.
In regards to people becoming assholes after working there. They do infact base their employment on appearance. Youre application won't even get a second glance if you don't submit a photo with it.
Side note: The owner thinks that if you can shoplift from the store with out getting caught, you deserve the items you stole.
