In a world where appearance is becoming increasingly important, Crystal Harrington, a 22-year-old single mother, shares her experience of weight-based discrimination during a job interview at Baytown Seafood restaurant in West Columbia. Despite her determination to make ends meet for herself and her child, the manager refused to hire her based on her appearance, highlighting a shallow mindset that continues to persist in some workplaces.
