The report, which surveyed 9,358 customers about recent shopping experiences, broke the retail industry into six sectors, including specialty retail stores and supermarkets.

Abercrombie’s low score follows a rebranding attempt and the December 2014 departure of CEO Mike Jeffries.

The second most hated retail brand was Walmart, which received a score of 66.

It wasn't all bad news for retailers.

Some of the higher scoring companies include Nordstrom, Costco, Amazon and Wegmans.

Overall customer satisfaction dropped for a second straight year.
