ONE woman has shared how she was dress coded at her job, which has no official dress policy.

Abigayle Canterbury says she quit her job after it became apparent she was being held to different standards than her fellow employees, who were seemingly all still allowed to wear crop tops.

Posting to her TikTok account, @abigaylecanterbury, alleges that she was being dress coded, not because her outfit was inappropriate, but actually because she’s plus size and was bigger than the other people she worked with.

“I got dress-coded at this job that does not have a dress code,” says Abigayle, adding that she was the only plus-size woman working at the smoke and vape shop.

“I’ve never gone into one of the locations and seen a bigger girl working, it’s always been very small, petite girls and they’ve always worn whatever they’ve wanted.”

Abigayle continues, saying that when she first got this job that was something that particularly excited her about it.

She adds that she didn’t push any boundaries and accepted that there would be some in place, as it is a workplace.

“I was under the impression that I could wear a crop top with some jeans and that’s not a big deal, it’s supposed to be a really laid back environment” says Abigayle.

Abigayle says she was working at the location for a couple of weeks before getting dress coded via text by her manager.

According to the text message the business owner came in and reported to the manager that Abigayle needed to dress nicer and “cover her stomach.”

After Abigayle asked for clarification and what exactly they meant, the manager replied: “Just cover all your body, that's what he means.”

This is where alarm bells began ringing for the TikToker, who felt as if she was being singled out by her manager.

This feeling continued the next day when she arrived at work and asked some of her female co-workers if they'd been dress-coded and told they couldn’t wear crop tops, all of whom told her they had not been.

Her manager then confronted her about talking to other employees about this, saying that she should just worry about herself and no one else – adding that he has cameras and microphones in the store so know if she’s going to complain about him. 

Abigayle ultimately decided to quit the job when the manager continued to get more toxic and kept singling her out.
