It's a clothing store chain, it is geared to younger people
and by that, I mean the thin, beautiful young people. They
don't carry over a size 10 and most of the stuff in the store
is much smaller.

The CEO is on record for saying he only wants cool non-fat
people in his stores or wearing their clothing. I'm paraphrasing.

I don't know what started all the uproar, I don't think the comments
are new. The idea that some stores cater to skinnier people is no
big secret, not all stores are all things to all people, but now it's
got people demonstrating in front the the stores, giving away their
A&F clothing. Some guy bought a lot of it and gave it away to homeless
people.

So, the CEO is trying to figure a way out of this mess. The bad
publicity is not working for them.
