Salesperson Suggests Teen Wears Spanx and Facebook Explodes

This Facebook post by a Kansas teen's mom, has gone viral after a salesperson suggested that her daughter wear Spanx with a gown she picked.

Megan Naramore Harris shared a story of a situation that happened when she and her daughter, Lexi, went dress shopping for a school formal. According to Megan, Lexi felt amazing in the dress she chose, when a salesperson suggested she should wear Spanx with the gown she picked.

Following the incident, Megan shared her story with Facebook because she felt the saleswoman's comment wasn't acceptable. So far, Megan and her daughter have received support from everywhere.

Here's the Facebook post:

The post itself has gotten over 330,000 likes and shared over 56,000 times.

When I came across Megan and Lexi's story even I was shocked that a salesperson would insist on this young 13-year-old wearing Spanx. I remember being in my teens and battling with body image issues, and dressing rooms are literally my worst enemy to this day.

If I was Lexi, and I finally found something I felt AMAZING in only to hear someone say I needed Spanx, I would be devastated. So I agree with Megan, the salesperson was entirely out of line and should have dropped the topic.

What do you think? How would you react if someone said this to you or your daughter?
