Remember when we used to shop at Hollister? If you didn't wear a Hollister graphic tee out in public with your Hollister mini denim skirt, who even were you? To be honest, probably someone with more common sense than the rest of us.
Hollister is a ridiculous store. The clothes were terrible quality, overpriced, and actually not that cute, but most people just had to have it in middle school. I now would like to revisit the experience of visiting a Hollister store with the aid of Parks and Rec gifs.
When you walk into the section of the mall with Hollister and you're immediately hit with that perfume smell.
Then you enter the store and are encompassed and overwhelmed by that perfume.
When you are greeted with a "what's up, welcome to Hollister" by a less than enthusiastic teenager folding shirts.
When you begin to look around and notice all the T-shirts look exactly the same... except they're different colors.
Only you can't tell what color they are exactly because it's so freaking dark in here.
You go and look at the sweaters and conclude that they are made for children, not teenagers—literal children.
So you move on to the back of the store...
You notice the "live feed" of surfers in California.
Do they honestly have a camera out at a pier constantly filming the ocean? It's definitely a tape they just play over and over.
Suddenly someone asks you if you need help with anything but you can't hear them because of this *trendy* music blaring in the store so you just laugh.
You wander to the back of the store where the sale stuff is.
You glance at a price tag and think to yourself "THAT'S the SALE price? For a T-SHIRT?" Let's be honest, it cost $4 to make this shirt in China.
You go to try on some stuff in the dressing rooms that are in the middle of the store for some reason because the layout of this store is insane.
You're trying stuff on but you honestly can't tell if you like what you're wearing because it's pitch black in this dressing room.
You've been in here a while and all of your senses are going numb because of the intense smells, sounds, and lack of light.
You go to check-out and the cashier is so rude, because apparently being rude is a requirement to work here. Also they have to be really attractive.
Your total is $85 and you bought a T-shirt and a scarf.
You walk out of the store and are blinded by the sudden rush of light and your ears are pounding like you've been front row at a concert for three hours.
You conclude that Hollister is a ridiculous store and decide to raise your standards and treat yourself next time.
