[_ARTICLE_](http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/remembranceday/article/887841--outcry-over-poppy-ban-forces-fashion-store-to-reverse-policy?bn=1) > A clothing shop in England has reversed its “no-poppy” rule for employees, 24 hours after an outcry over a clerk being told to remove hers. > > “They’ve reversed the rule,” an employee at the Hollister store at the WestQuay mall in Southampton, told the _Star_ on Monday. “Employees can wear poppies on Thursday. Yes, just on Thursday.” > > Thursday is Remembrance Day in Canada and the U.K., set aside to honour war veterans, and poppies proliferate on lapels and blouses in the weeks leading to Nov. 11. i sport a poppy just to fit in… abercrombie does some sketchball shit don’t they? ---

Yeah they do a lot of stuff like that. They are a fashion company trying to sell an image (which they are very successful at), so i guess if the employee doesn’t like it, she can go get a minimum wage/12 hours per week max job elsewhere ---

I can’t even go into their damn stores to find out what’s the latest rage in the trendy clothes world, because as soon as I step through the door, my sinuses feel like they’ve been set aflame. To hell with it, i’m not missing anything. ---
