i'm 14 years old, soon to be 15. i'm 5'1 and 80 pounds. i'm really skinny and short and abercrombie kids is the only place that fits me. so i shop there even though the workers act like sh*t to me, giving me dirty looks and the ppl that shop there too. so what if i'm asian and i'm not white? sure, i may be a little nerdy but why are they being so mean to me about that? nobody's perfect, ok? they need to get that straight in there heads. ppl suggested me other places to shop but most things dont fit and arent that pretty for me. like at abercrombie kids there are so many cute choices that fit just right on me. i hab social anxiety so its hard to ignore the stares and i end up crying and ruining my day/week

I feel you have a complex. Are they related to you? If not why do you care what they say or do. Be strong, and show them your know what you are doing.
If I am reading you right,. you are not very proud of your heritage. You are asian girl, and you should be very proud of yourself. People will not respect you if you do not respect yourself. You can get around this, by knowing you are O.K. and that they are the ones with the problem.
You must work on your self esteem, I think Asian women are very beautiful, If they are honestly staring at you, smile at them and say "Hi, are you O.K>? Is there anything I can do for you". Skinny and short AND Asian, how lucky can you get.
Great things come in small packages, remember.
Be strong, walk into that store with your head held high,. proud of who you are, proud of your heritage. You may not be taller than them, but you certainly are smarter.
Been through this with my daughter, who was 4'10", and was a beautiful girl. She changed her attitude and the girls in the store changed theirs!

Try being very polite. When they ask you what you are doing there, tell them they have the only clothes that fit you well and you like their look and would they like to help you pick something out if you are having a hard time looking. Ignore their impoliteness and respond politely. If this doesn't work, I would write a really polite letter to the main office telling them where you shop and how their staff make you feel and you wonder if this is prejudice and harassment, that you don't want to think so because you like their clothes so much. I suspect you may get some action. Telling them how much you spend might also help.

you could desire to constantly attempt shoping online. additionally attempt different shops. i'm an analogous hight and weight as you (yet i'm 17 years previous) and that i detect quite some different shops that i will keep at. attempt Delia's, Aeropostale, Hollister, previous army,... the clothing in some shops could desire to be a touch massive, yet once you go xs it is going to artwork. and there is often shops like Kohl's and aim. human beings cring whilst they hear those keep names, yet they actaully do have attractive clothing. anybody constantly asks me the place i'm getting my clothing and are bowled over whilst they hear i'm getting them at places like that. Then they go and attempt those places. =] P.S. merely because of the fact you're Aisan would not advise you're no longer appropriate. human beings hate me because of the fact i'm Dutch (like virtually anybody else interior the U. S.) and that i want i became something diverse, so be happy which you're unique. =]

People who work/shop at Abercrombie are rude because that store represents all that is soulless and wrong (Thank you, Office Space).
That store stands for sexism, snobbishness, and shallow thinking. That's probably why most of the people who shop there/work there are unkind people.
