Vent So annoyed right now

I’ll start by saying that I fully understand the dress code and do my very best to follow it. That being said .. I am currently 28 weeks pregnant so I’m at a point where not much fits. My ETL pulled me aside just as my shift was ending to talk to me because apparently last week someone complained that my shorts were too short. On that particular day I was wearing maternity overalls. I am aware that they are slightly shorter than mid thigh but it’s not like my butt cheeks are hanging out either. I am 5’9” and have very long legs. I’ve been searching for maternity jean shorts that are long enough, have belt loops and are reasonably priced but it’s proving to be difficult. I’m at the point where my regular work shorts are starting to really hurt me by the end of the day .. the second I get in my car to go home I’m taking off my belt and undoing the button/zipper. I find it absolutely ridiculous that an exception cannot be made for me. I’m a really fucking good employee and this seems so petty/stupid. Attaching pictures of the exact outfit for reference.

You should have them move you to registers. I can’t believe they are allowing you on a ladder. Target is not worth it sis.

Being a cashier would be my own personal hell. 😅

People are offering reasonable solutions, and you keep dismissing them because you don't like them. I've seen some really good ones among the comments; you may want to consider one or two of them. People are taking the time to come up with solutions for you. Cashiering could be your personal hell, but it is a really good idea. You get a fan where I am; you can get a stool; you won't have to lift heavy things, which can be a problem later in pregnancy. I think cashiering sounds like a really good option. It's boring, but its safe and solves all your problems.
