    I remember the scandals
    My first experience at an A n F store was it was shuttered, hardly anyone was shopping, it was dark, and tons of cologne was sprayed on everything. So dark you could barely see the clothes. Such a strange shopping experience. I didn't buy anything. Years later the CEO was talking about overweight people while his face is deformed. Ironic. The race stuff was kind of glossed over in the news. This doc touched on the sexual assaults, but not much is said. You know some of these male models were assaulted and fired if they didn't follow through. Horrible. They were just young guys from all over America who wanted a job.
