The PR geniuses at abercrombie and fitch are in the news again for refusing to let a 14-year old autistic shopper have help trying on clothes. The Minnesota Department of Human Rights has fined the company $115,264 for discriminating against a person with a disability.
Hm. This sure sounds familiar.
The injured parties include Molly Maxon, who has autism, and her hollister clothing older sister. When the two tried to enter a fitting room together so that the sister could help Molly try on clothes, an A&F employee refused to let them, citing a store policy to prevent shoplifting.
