A California-based content creator has gone viral on TikTok after recording herself asking a Target employee to price match a plus-size clothing item that was listed at a higher price than its smaller counterpart. The video sparked widespread debate in the comments about whether retailers should charge more for larger clothing sizes.
The creator, Samyra, who describes herself as a body-positivity activist and singer, shared the clip on her TikTok account. As shown in the video, she noticed in the Target app that the same clothing item was priced at $6 in a large size but $8 in a 3X size, a $2 difference she referred to as a “fat tax.”
