A few years back I had a bad experience in an Abercrombie & Fitch back in Massachusetts. I'm sure everyone has had a bad experience in that store but this particular experience has stuck with me throughout the years.
I was looking for a job at the time and decided to give Abercrombie a go. Why not right? I liked their clothes.
I walked in and approached the boy at the register who was super sweet and showed me where to apply. After my application was done I asked the same boy if I could speak with a manager about scheduling an interview.
"Sure!" He said and I followed him over to a brown haired girl who was busy putting clothes away.
"There's a girl here who wants to ask about an interview" he told her.
"Oh okay!" She said and stood up.
When she turned to look at me the look of disgust on her face was so horrible I felt like I was some piece of dog shit that she had just stepped on.
"Tell her we're not hiring!" She snapped and returned to her work. The boy came over to me looking sorry.
" I heard her" I told him "Thank you though your really nice."
At the time I was a little heavier than I am now which is why I assume she was so disgusted by me.
(Cause you know, girls with actual woman curves are so horribly disgusting how dare I even think it was okay to enter her skinny only store.)
Anyway, the experience has stuck with me throughout the years and still leaves me with this horribly angry and bitter feeling whenever I think about it.
I understand that they have a specific look that they have to match when hiring new employees but its completely inexcusable to treat anyone that way just because they don't fit your idea of beauty.
Love,
Julie
