11 Moments When Plus-Size Customers Spoke Out — and Faced The Internet’s Wrath

4. Quitting A Job After Being Told To “Cover Her Stomach”

Abigayle Canterbury was just doing what she needed to do when she was dress-coded at her job… that did not have a dress code . She was indirectly told by her manager that she needed to “dress something nicer and cover the stomach,” to which she responded with “So no crop tops, got it.” But after talking to her other co-workers, some who had been there significantly longer than she had, she realized they had never been dress-coded — even though a few were wearing something “inappropriate,” by the manager’s standards. After all, what drew Abigayle to this job was the “laid-back environment,” and how the employees could wear whatever they wanted. “That sh–t really not only caught me off guard but kind of hurt my feelings,” she said. Her response? Quitting.
