Hannahb17 tells us more.
For those of you who are wondering, I'm 17 and I work at Forever 21. I asked the two girls if they needed any help and they said, "Umm.. We don't want YOUR help." I said, "Excuse me?" They said, "OMG WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE? WE DON'T WANT YOUR HELP! CAN WE GET SOMEONE ELSE TO HELP US?" At that point a manager came over to see what the problem was and the girls said, "We don't want her help. She doesn't even have a thigh gap. Why does she even work here?" Not wanting to do anything stupid and lose my job, I walked away. The two girls had to have been only a year or two younger than me. Plot twist: THEY DIDN'T HAVE FREAKING THIGH GAPS! I can't explain to y'all how much that irked me. The whole thing was just stupid. I really like working at Forever 21, though, so I'm glad I didn't do anything to jeopardize that. Well, thank you all for the supportive comments! They were fun to read. (: I hope y'all have a great night/day!

I don't understand this whole thigh gap thing. Assuming 2 people are healthy weight, one of them can have a thigh gap and the other might not. That even applies to people who are underweight. People come in different shapes! And of course, there's the whole factor that even if someone is overweight, it is no reason to be condescending towards them.
They've actually done a study to show that the "gap" is caused by how wide your hips are. You can be super skinny but if you have small hips you STILL won't have a gap
I'm confused by this. I have a thigh gap but only 33 inch hips, which I've always been told is small. I think there's more too it than that, the body comes in a complex array of shaped and sizes.
I have really small hips, just a small bone structure to begin with and I have a thigh gap. There are various things that may potentially cause a thigh gap, many of which have been mentioned.
And they've probably had enough dicks in them to be considered porcupines, so don't get down on yourself OP. Be proud that you're not a stick.
Maybe that's why they were so prickly?
Thigh gaps are usually more to do with your frame than anything else. Wide hips give you more chance of having a thigh gap than slimmer hips, for example. Not that it matters, it's a fairly insignificant physical thing. I can't actually recall the state of most of my friends' thighs. It's unimportant.
Although I have one myself, I think thigh gaps are overrated. These girls sound very arrogant and rude.
Those girls are cspaceuspacenspacetspaces
What the **** is a thigh gap?
A thigh gap? They only want help from women who are unhealthily skinny? Would they take help from a guy? Anyway, don't take that to mean you need a diet, take it to mean they crave attention.
Tumblr hipster alert!
God OP, I feel your pain. Teenage girls are the worst! I want to smack their little bitch faces into the wall most of the time. That said, I think you should take it as a compliment that they had to pick something so trivial to insult. It means that you're probably pretty and they were feeling threatened. =)
All teenage girls are prissy little snot headed bitches. Don't worry OP, your non-thigh gap is beautiful. :)
