When you realize they only shook their head at you because you were still too scared to come in.

Hot Topic externally: 💀💀💀
Hot Topic internally: ❤❤❤

I felt WAY more out of place walking into an Abercrombie and Fitch then I ever did walking into hot topic. The hot topic employees were always super chill and helpful.

Goth people are some of the kindest people you’ll meet. Their tough exterior hides a mushy interior 💀💕

hot topic workers will actually cook you a full course meal and pay for your college

hot topic workers are so nice cuz they understand how it feels to be judged.

When I was little, I saw a hello kitty hairbrush in hot topic; but I was scared to go in there. But my parents forced me, and the teen who was there said “it’s ok, hello kitty needs a friend!” And honestly that was the best experience I’ve ever had with a stranger. She helped me pick out the best one for me, and gave me a coupon (even though she said they weren’t supposed to on small purchases)

I love going into Hot Topic. The energy is always so calming. And the employees are the best.

I walked into a Hollister store for the first time just to check it out, I immediately received stares from the employees, one of them even looked me up and down. I was about 14 when I went to hot topic for the first time as well, the employee that was there was very helpful and extremely nice, asking me if I was ready for school that year etc. Don’t judge a book by its cover is what I learned.

I'm super girly and pink and the workers at hot topic are always super nice to me and complimenting my outfit. They're honestly the kindest workers at the mall. They only look intimidating, but they really aren't.

[airbearbabiii]

They are usually the nicest people in Malls. You can wear anything in there and they hardly judge because they sell little bits of everything. From pretty princess stuff to full goth they really dont judge you unless your rude. They actually sell soo much preppy stuff too.

i swear the ppl that work in these places are by far the nicest ppl you'll ever meet

[KITTY_PAWSY]

a hot topic worker legit let me name their pet rat once. Hot topic employees are amazing

[monvlisv]

Hot topic employees are literally the nicest retail employees you’ll meet lmao

[maefae]

Hot Topic employees always looked scary as a kid/tween but were always super nice.

[itstheguyfromthething]

The hot topic workers are super nice they helped me find music and clothes and we're awesome to me!

[bigpoggers]

It's funny because Hot Topic workers are the nicest people around, presumably because they're the ones who get judged

[teabaggins]

currently a hot topic worker, and see this THE TIME!! we are all pretty laidback and chill so dont be afraid to visit no matter how you dress cause we most likely will not care

[audrey_]

I literally walked in one time wearing a pink skirt and a white shirt with heart earrings in, they smiled and said hi. Love hot topic workers

[Xero.mp]

As a previous hot topic worker, we have had old people come in. We literally don’t care what you’re wearing as long as you’re nice.
Update: I work at hot topic again!
