Too fat for hollister job. So I did something

Hey! Apparently i'm good looking and my face is rather slim. a friend of mine handed it in with my cv to hollister. I've already got a job, but we wanted to see what they were like.

About 2 weeks after, i got a phone call asking me to go along for a group interview. this was for the position of "sales assistant/model". Although I might look "attractive", i'm a bit fat. I play rugby, cycle, and walk, but i've always kinda been overweight. i'm around 6ft and weigh just over 18 stone.

I went to the group interview and they were testing us out in hollister clothes. none of them fit for me. They were all sat back in the room, I went in shirtless, gave them their clothes back. There was someone there who was from Europe and he looked at me and said "you're too big" and smirked a bit. I've always been big and I've heard it all. So I did a truffle shuffle and ran out. All the others being interviewed burst out laughing.

I told my girlfriend about this and she said it was childish. everyone else - family, my friends and work mates just laughed at it. Do you think it was a bit childish? I'm 20.

This is the sight they'd have seen. Sorry if it scars you. lol

You know you're from Europe too if you're British, right?

Yes, I just mean he was from elsewhere in Europe.

LOL, you look like that and applied for Hollister? They were probably laughing at your ignorance not your size.

Seems a bit of a tedious process for a dare to be honest.
The job description all but says it, Hollister + AF try to stop fattys buying their clothes, you really think they're gonna let them sell them?

By the way I didn't mean to offend you by that, I'm always quite fat and you see comfortable with the way you are, so just banter, my friend.

Yeah Hollister is ****ty brand, although I have to admit the girls that work there are FAF!
