JCPenney employee sent home for wearing shorts purchased in "career" section

A JCPenney employee was  sent home for wearing a "revealing" pair of shorts, despite purchasing from the stores career section, it has been reported.

Sylva Stoel, aged 17 from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, was asked to leave and change clothing when she arrived for her shift wearing the garment. However, Stoel insisted that she purchased the red linen shorts from JCPenny’s work-wear collection.

In an interview with The Huffington Post, Stoel explained how she felt victimized and singled out for her apparel. She said: “I told [my manager] that I thought it was unfair to send me home due to the fact that I had purchased the shorts from JC Penney's own career section.”

“But he insisted that I go home and change anyways.”
