All forms discrimination at work are bad right? Well, not according to Abercrombie & Fitch, a company that has apparently been judging it's employees based on their appearance. "There's no real problem to discriminate against 'ugly' people", the lawyers say, but that doesn't comfort the many retail workers who have found themselves in the back room due to their less than desirable looks.

Seems outrageous right? Oh, except for the fact that the retailer is trying to sell a look to people and that more attractive salespeople will not only better sell that message but will also be able to bring in more potential customers. If you went to a hair salon and all you saw were people with ugly haircuts, wouldn't you think twice before having them cut your hair? Sure, Abercrombie & Fitch is selling clothing, and ugly people can still wear nice clothing, but when they are shooting for what's hip and cool, they'd be at a disadvantage if most of their employees weren't attractive.

File that under stop being ugly.
