North Carolina woman says she went to Aerie to try on bathing suits after having a baby. Then she overheard what the worker said about her: ‘Trying not to cry’

A TikTok creator took to the app to express how a trip to the retail store can sometimes deal an unforgettable blow to your confidence. North Carolina SAHM (stay-at-home mom) influencer Macy Ann used her platform to call out the staff at her local Aerie, who she says spoke to her in a judgmental tone for bringing a substantial clothing haul into the fitting room.

Ann explained where her headspace was when she walked into Aerie, saying, “I feel like I’m a bother everywhere that I go. I overly apologize. I’m a people pleaser. Like, I try my hardest not to bother people.” She continued, “So, with that being said, I’m having a hard time with swimsuit season this year. I just had a kid 19 months ago and so it’s been really, really hard for me.”
