This AE location is not only the flagship store (i.e. huge and always busy), but is also a funnel in which people walk off the street and through the store to get to the huge mall. This makes it a very chaotic place, because big groups of tourists and rowdy schoolkids are always barging through the large store just to get to the mall, without stopping to shop. They have a large selection, but it is often hard to find things and by the end of the day, the store gets totally messy (piles of clothes everywhere, nothing sized). The salespeople are young, inexperienced, disorganized, and always running all over the place, so it's hard to get help. The lines for the fitting room are often extremely long as well. To top it all off, the clothes are overpriced and don't fit well! I'd take the blasting techno music and snooty employees at Abercrombie over this any day - at least those clothes are cut well, and their logo is still trendy.
Pros: large selection, good hours
Cons: chaotic, messy, poor-fitting clothes, disorganized employees
