Today, while shopping for a birthday present for my size 0 friend, I picked out a pair of pants for her. When paying, the cashier looked me up and down and said, "Well, you're pretty optimistic aren't you?" FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went shopping for a new pair of jeans. I was feeling good about the fact that I was going down a waist size until the cashier decided to discuss with me, three co-workers, and the ten other people in line how she didn't even know jeans came in sizes that big. FML
Today, my friends and I were shopping for dresses. I asked the lady at the counter for a size 4, she looked at me and mumbled, "Yeah, right…" in front of everyone. FML
Today, my mom and I were looking at dresses for me at the mall. The cashier pointed out a dress, and my mom said, "She's definitely not going to fit into that. She's too flat-chested." FML
Today, a customer said the pants she was buying rang up more than advertised. I quietly told her plus-sizes were not on sale. The customer yelled in front of a whole line of people, "So I'm fat and can't read! Any other insults you'd like to throw at me?" and stormed out of the store. FML
Today, while standing in line at the grocery store, I noticed that myself and the woman in front of me were wearing the same shirt. As she was about to leave, I said to her "Hey! I'm wearing that shirt!" She turned to me and replied, "Not in THIS size you aren't." FML
Today, I went shopping with a friend. She went to try some clothes on and came out to ask for my opinion. "Hell no! That shirt is awful!" She wanted to show me the pants. The shirt was hers. FML
Today, I greeted my boss with, "Looking good, did you lose weight?" He responded that no, he'd just purchased larger pants. FML
Today, I was at the mall with my friend. A lady came up to us and told my friend that she could be a model. Then the lady looked at me and said, "Oh... Nice shoes." FML
Today, I was trying on wedding dresses with my future sister-in-law who is a little bigger than me. We tried on a similar dress and she said it looked better on me because I'm skinny. Instead of saying, "No way" or "It looks great on you", I accidentally said, "Yeah, I know." FML
Today, I bought my fiancée a dress for her birthday. She accused me of saying she was fat, because I bought it in medium rather than small. After trying on the dress, she's now not only mad at me for buying it, but also because the dress fits perfectly. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That sucks OP. Some people truly need a filter.

I'm actually a cashier at a retail store, and I would never say anything this rude to a customer. First of all, my managers would not put up with it. Second, I keep my mouth shut during my shifts, because I don't want to say idiotic things like this cashier did, even if I am thinking them.

Just when I thought buying bigger sized clothing was the most embarrassing experience I could have at a retail store this cashier had to go and prove me wrong.

That's the point where I would have said "Not nearly as optimistic as you are that I actually plan to spend hard earned money here," left the pants on the counter and walked out after discussing it with the manager. A letter to corporate would have followed, naming names. But then, I'm a cranky post-menopausal woman with absolutely no patience for asshats and fuckwads.

I'm sick of this shit. Cashiers just need to keep their ******* thoughts to themselves

I know this isn't the case because OP is buying for a friend but I HATE when people think they are a smaller size than they actually are

I had the opposite of this problem when I was a cashier. I'd always just say hi, then start scanning items. People complained a few times that I wasn't "friendly" enough, because I didn't start idly talking to them while I worked. You just can't win :(

You should tell her "Thats for one of my friends. BTW , You are pretty optimistic as a cashier, aren't you?"
