Today, I was at McDonald's. As I left the counter with the food, I heard the cashier mutter, "Fat ass." I turned around and demanded to see the manager. Once he came and heard the situation, he looked at me and said, "Well, it's not like he's wrong, right?" FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was sitting in McDonald's. A lady came up to me and started complaining about the bad service, and asked for the manager. I told her that I didn't work there. "But you must, someone that fat has to work here!" FML
Today, I asked a girl at the restaurant I work at if she'd had enough to eat. When she said yes, I said, "Are you sure?" I didn't realize how insulting it sounded until her equally overweight mom was up in my face, demanding to see my manager. FML
Today, while checking out a couple at work, I handed them their receipt and wished them a good day. The woman promptly pulled her husband to the side, and whispered to him about how much of a "fucking idiot" I was for making the prices so high. I work at McDonald's. FML
Today, as usual, I worked at McDonald's. Although I tried to diffuse the situation, an old man was absolutely furious, and punched me in the face over BBQ sauce. FML
Today, I was working the drive-through at McDonald's. I greeted a customer with a, "Hi, how are you doing today?" His response: "Better than you." FML
Today, I was at work at McDonald's, at the front counter when an elderly lady came up to me and whispered, "I just shit everywhere in your restroom," then turned around and walked out the door. FML
Today, I saw a man help an elderly lady with her tray at the local McDonald's. I wanted to do something nice for him, so I added a couple extra nuggets in his meal. He later came up to me and told me I was dumb and didn't know how to count, and that was why I was working at McDonald's. FML
Today, I noticed I was overcharged at a fast food place, so I asked the cashier to correct it. He got an attitude, so I asked for the manager. The next thing I know, some dude shoved me, yelling, "Shut the fuck up Karen." I fell and hit my head. People in line laughed and cheered. FML
Today, I was taking a table's order. After I finished, the guy told me, "Just FYI, I'm not a tipper." Trying to lighten up the situation, I replied, "It's amazing how many people forget I handle their food." He complained to the manager that I'd threatened him. FML
Today, working at a fast food restaurant, I was berated by a customer for a good two minutes. It's okay though because she ended with, "Sorry, I forget you all are real people." FML

I think it was the 4 Big Macs, 3 large fries, 8 apple pies, and 2 ice creams that tipped them off. Oh, and the Diet Coke.

No matter how big OP’s order really was and no matter whether OP is obese or not, the comments by the cashier and his manager were simply unprofessional.

The comments in this thread have hit me so hard, I'm overweight, not morbidly so, but I still hate I myself. I often eat the food from McDonald's but will get coffee from there, even though I'm not ordering a big mac or whatever I still feel like I shouldn't be in there, because I think the people working there must think what the worker did with the op. Now I know for sure that they do, as do most people I meet. I wonder what they must think of me, can't be worse than what I say to myself, that I'll avoid conversations because I think I'm too disgusting to look at. I guess the thing I struggle most with is what happens in the mean time, between being overweight and getting to the size I want to be? No one will look at me and think that I walked 6kms that morning or that I did weights for an hour. That's what often hurts the most, that people still see me as fat, not realising that I am working out and eating healthy everyday, but I can't lose it all in one day, so there's going to be that in between time. Maybe that's something to think about when you judge someone who is overweight, maybe they did two hours of exercise that morning, and are still in the middle of their journey. Maybe they are having McDonald's because they've allowed themselves a weekly treat? (even though using food as a reward isn't great), I don't know, I can say all these encouraging things, but I still think I'm hideous, I wish I could be stronger.

First, nowhere near everyone will be thinking terrible things about you -- some will, sure, but frankly, that says more about them than it does about you (and people that think such things about heavy people are probably thinking nasty judgmental thoughts about people for other reasons, too, even if they're stick thin). If you're feeling so bad about yourself that you're not comfortable conversing with people, please consider talking to a counselor. What you're doing and thinking matters more than what others may be thinking. Hang in there. Do your research, talk with your doctor about a good weight-loss plan and pace for you, get a referral to a nutritionist (even if you already know a lot, they can help you come up with good specific meals, options, and alternatives) and/or to an exercise therapist or trainer, and keep up with your exercise. Building new, healthy habits and sticking with them is important if you want to lose weight. My brother lost over 120 lbs and has kept it off for a couple of years now; he's even running half marathons.

Where has customer service gone. This should never happen. I am truly sorry fat ass.

So? That doesn't justify the cashier saying that about you. You should file a complaint to McDonald's corporate and get both the manager and cashier fired

Don't lie bitch.

Definitely contact corporate. That is completely inappropriate. I mean, I'll admit, I'll sometimes mutter under my breath after a customer (inaudibly), but that's when they're rude and inconsiderate, NOT because of their weight or appearance.

That's bull!! It doesn't matter what your size is, or how much food you order! You're the customer, YOU pay their salary, and there is absolutely NO good reason for them to publicly insult you like that. Go to corporate. Get the manager's name and the employee's name, write to corporate, and request they take action. If they don't, threaten to sue. Even if you can't or don't want to, they're tired of bad press.
