How many hours are you being scheduled this week?!

I'm sorry I'm not really sure when this question was asked but on a typical week i get about 10 hours because i only work during the weekends.

[hcoassociate]

Hey guys don't forget i've got a bunch of super detailed tutorials so check them out!

[hcoassociate]

What new things have you gotten or are gonna get?

I don't work too often anymore being so busy with other jobs and school, so I haven't gotten anything yet. But I will let you guys know when I do!

[hcoassociate]

Do you know if it's even possible to transfer to a hollister store in another country?

i don't see why it wouldn't be but i can't say for certain 

[hcoassociate]

Do you know when the holiday floor sets come out?

not sure on the exact date but I'm pretty sure its within the next few weeks!

[hcoassociate]

This is totally random, but do you know which (moveable) steamer Hollister uses to de-wrinkle their clothes? I used it for the first time the other day and it was amazing, I want one for my own clothes at home, haha! Of course I forgot to read the brand name, though. I just figured asking you would be worth a shot! :)

Sorry i've never used it so i'm not sure!

[hcoassociate]

How are your hours this week?!

well I only have my availability set to weekends so i only work then! I get the hours I ask for basically but its not a lot.

What is AAA? And when you first get hired what do they mean by "pick out your aaa"?

It just means the clothes that you wear to work. We have a style guide that will show us ideas of outfits that are in for the current season to help you chose what to buy! Of course you are not required to by anything but we get a great discount!

[hcoassociate]

Triple A's for Labor Day or no? Ideas?

Not sure what you're asking...

[hcoassociate]

Hey have you or anyone else bought shoes online and then returned and bought them again during triple A's to get the discount? Would it work like that?

Yes! I've done it. But double check to make sure your manager would be willing to do it since we don't know when the next aaa's will be. Because technically according to the official rules I think associates only have something like 10 days for price adjustments. But its not likely that they would even look at the date.

Im reading everyones stories about tax free weekend and it makes me so glad that we don't do that in my state! I hope you all survived!!

[hcoassociate]

Haven’t heard from y’all in a while! How are you doing?

[hcoassociate]

Yes I get that I'm on the list because I'm a new hire, but the other new hires aren't on the new one which i just find odd. Like one of them is a new impact but it may just be that I'm the only model from the old list.. Anyways thanks for answering :)

Yeah im not sure then, if you're really curious you could always ask your manager because they know whats going on in your store better than i do :)

[hcoassociate]

There's this girl who I have never seen wear in season triple A's. Is that something that can be brought up to the one number?

Definitely not… It isn’t required by anyone to wear any clothes from the store at all. They just need to be somewhat consistent with the season.

Even if they aren't though thats no reason to call the one number it isn't you responsibility to deal with those things its your managers.

I was wondering if all employees get their picture taken? Because my DM came today and she took mine

Nope not everyone!

[hcoassociate]

Hello! I was wondering, if I don't live near an Abercrombie & Fitch store but I want to use my AAA discount at their products, is there *any* way I could possibly do that? I visited an A&F store last week for the first time in a year and only bought three things, and now I'm miles away from the store and I want more! I wish there was an Associate only website that we could use to buy items from.

Well my first question is if you haven't been to an A&f store in a year, how are you still an associate? Unless maybe you just work at hollister? In which case you can't use your aaa discount at A&f.. But that's just me making assumptions. to answer your question, the only way to get your discount is in store. Sorry!

Do you happen to know anything about the new recruit/hire list in the back office? Because my name with some others was there a few weeks ago when I was hired but it's rewritten on a new sheet with just me this time

Well you're a new hire.. So that's probably why you were on the new hire list. I'm not sure what it's purpose is though. Home office probably just makes them keep track of it.
