Yes!
I work at Abercrombie & Fitch and I'm sorry, I don't care who you are, I cannot let more than one person into the fitting room at a time unless I want to be yelled at by a manager. My managers are kind of scary too - like super intimidating - and they follow company policy exactly, because they can lose their jobs if they don't. I do feel bad for the girl, but I don't think it's fair to blame this on the employee since the managers, district managers, etc. are constantly drilling the fitting room rule into our heads at work.
However, when the mother explained the disability situation to the manager, I think that should've been enough.
