I was dress

Aug 06, 2023

A TIKTOKER has claimed that her manager body-shamed her while she was on the job.

The Costco employee said she was called in to discuss her workplace wardrobe, saying she was following the dress-code and the meeting was more so an instance of body shaming.

Aisha Mason (@isha.mason) shared her experience in a video on TikTok.

"So I'm borderline pissed," she said. "Like, I got called into the office because I'm following dress code, but my body shape is too much for my job.

"I don't get it. Like, I'm following dress code, but because I might have people following me around at work. How is this my fault?" she said.

She went on to add that her clothes were in accordance with the employee dress code, but she was called into her manager's office due to men looking at her.

"I was called into the office, and told that although I have on the right attire, I have the wrong body shape to wear it.

"I am in dress code, but because the men keep looking at me, I have to come to work in bigger clothes. That's #bodyshaming #harassment and it's just plain wrong," she said.

Aisha called on Costco to turn their attention to matters other than her body type.

"#Costco needs to focus on much more important things than my body shape. I am #embarrassed, this is #embarrassing," she added.

The video drew in many viewers who shared their thoughts in the comment section.

"A female at your job is big jealous of you," one wrote. "I think you look beautiful."

"You either turned a man down and hurt his pride or a female jealous," another added. "You look great."

"You are covered completely," a third commented. "You look gorgeous and professional. No not your fault."

"They're stressed cause you blessed," yet another wrote.

"That happened to me at a job once too and I wish I would've fought back. I was too embarrassed to realize it was low-key discrimination," one more said.

The U.S. Sun reached out to Costco via email for comment.

A copy of Costco's dress code Mason provided the U.S. Sun does not seem to prohibit her attire. The policy states: "We ask your assistance by arriving to work in a neat, clean, and professional manner.

"All attire and accessories worn in the workplace must be free of any advocacy messaging," the policy read.

Costco also has footwear standards for employee safety, stating: "For safety reasons we prohibit open-toe or open-heel shoes or sandals being worn in the warehouses and depots.

"Some departments and positions require composite steel toe work shoes and/or slip-resistant shoes."
