Today, I went into Whole Foods asking if they carried a supplement called Carnosine. The girl assisting me had no idea what it was, but asked, "Is this for weight loss?" FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while buying laxatives and really hoping the cashier wouldn’t make some snarky comment, the cashier said, "You know, that’s not a good way to lose weight." I had to explain to him that I’m actually constipated. FML
Today, my waiter turned to me and asked, "Let me guess, Miss I'm-not-fat-I'm-fluffy wants a Diet Coke?" FML
Today, at lunch I ordered a Coke. The waiter replied, "Diet Coke?" and I corrected him saying, "No, regular Coke." He shook his head and said again, "Diet Coke." FML
Today, working in retail, I noticed a customer looking for an item, so I walked up to them and asked, "Is there something I can help you find?" He replied, "Did I ask for your fucking help?" FML
Today, my girlfriend and I, who are both heavy set, went into the pharmacy and asked if they sold any over the counter antidiarrhetic medicine. The store clerk, eyeing us up and down, said, “Uh, sorry, we don’t have antidiabetic medicine.” FML
Today, the clerk at Walmart asked me if the stretch mark cream I was buying was for my wife. I wish I could've said yes. FML
Today, my coworker asked me if I was on a diet for my New Year's resolution. When I said no, she replied, "Why not?" 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, I ordered some burgers at a fast food joint. When I said, "No lettuce," the cashier looked dumbfounded and asked, "What's that?" I literally had to say, "The green stuff" before she got it. I'm losing hope. FML
Today, a customer came up to me with a can of ground black pepper and asked me what the ingredients were. FML

Well it seems like she wasn't trying to be mean, but she shouldn't assume. Maybe alot of people come in for weight loss pills?

OP, weight loss products are common. Also...you were in the food isle and asked for an odd product...I'd have made the same assumption

Everything in Whole Foods is for money loss.

Probably just asking so she could direct you to a certain section of the store.

She may have been most frequently asked where the weight loss supplements are, so she assumed that's what you were also looking for. Still unprofessional, but not necessarily a jab at you.

hell its a supplement. i dont know what it is. so, she was probably just asking a legitimate question, not insulting you.

It was probably just a legitimate question. Don't be so thin-skinned.

there is a common suppliment called carnitine which is used for weight loss/ ripping down. dont always assume someone is dumber than you.

There's a drug that assists with weight-loss called L-Cartenine. Maybe she thought that's what you meant. :)

The girl did not infer that you are fat, she asked for additional information about the product. She could have just as easily thought "well the customer in front of me is attractive, so must be picking up the supplement for a friend" Stop choosing to be offended, or insisting that people are out to attack you.
