Abercrombie and Fitch store worker told to work in the back room because her prosthetic arm violated the store's "Look Policy"

She was also bullied by the employees and made to wear a cardigan. Luckily she's suing.

This isn't really surprising since it's the fashion industry, but I am really steamed about this.

disability, news

Extra dim on the part of A&F, the girl is a law student.

I used to not shop there because I'm broke, but, hey, now I'm definitely not.

I am so glad she's a law student. The Aberzombies really picked the wrong person to mess with this time...

Can all the less-than-gorgeous guys and girls sue now too? Because they will definitely refuse to hire you if you don't have the right "look"

I know. It was sarcasm. I do have contempt for those kind of stores though. Good for her.
