If you’ve been to an Abercrombie and Fitch store you’ve seen the buff young shirtless men who greet you at the door. But in London, a young woman who got a job at a A&F flagship store (and who didn’t exactly hide her prosthetic arm, but didn’t exactly wave it during the interview) was banished to the stockroom after a manager spotted it and wouldn’t allow her on the main floor.

If you’ve been to an Abercrombie and Fitch store you’ve seen the buff young shirtless men who greet you at the door. But in London, a young woman who got a job at a A&F flagship store (and who didn’t exactly hide her prosthetic arm, but didn’t exactly wave it during the interview) was banished to the stockroom after a manager spotted it and wouldn’t allow her on the main floor.
He claimed she didn’t have the right “look” that the firm requires of all employees. The woman, Riam Dean, 22, is suing the retailer for discrimination. A&F recently settled a similar lawsuit here.
What do you think? Should an employer have the right to a “look policy” and pick and choose whomever it finds pleasing to the eye? Let us know..
