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

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, a heavy set lady came to my boutique asking for our "largest" 28in size jeans. I decided to humor her by giving a 52 mislabeled as a 28. It fit perfectly! She happily bought it and left. Later, her mother, who is a Super Karen and twice her size, came to complain about me to the owner for bodyshaming her daughter. FML
Today, I was ringing up a lady’s items; two shoeboxes. Per policy, I’m supposed to open them. She heavily insisted I didn’t. I ignored her and found other merchandise inside. She then went on a rant on how "people should mind their own fucking business" and stormed out of the store without buying. FML
Today, I thought the cashier said the new blouse I picked out was ugly as she was ringing me up. I'm really self-conscious about my fashion sense, so I snapped and started yelling at her. It wasn't until she was close to tears did I find out she said "lovely" not "ugly". So, that's another store I can't go back to. FML
Today, when I told a gentleman that, no, he couldn't have cash back on his return without a receipt, he started screaming at me that I was calling his mother a liar. He told me to lawyer up and yelled at me for smiling at him. He also screamed at me to go on a diet as he left the store. FML
Today, I was called an 'unhelpful little bitch' by a customer, after I informed her that we couldn't order a pair of shoes she wanted from the company in her size because it's a discontinued model. This little tirade continued for another few minutes, with her insulting me and my intelligence. FML
Today, while at work, a rather large woman came in and ordered a cheeseburger. When asking if she would like to supersize it, she took her purse, smacked me, and told me she wasn't fat, and how rude I was for calling her supersized. I was just doing my job. FML
Today, I was waiting in line while a lady paid for her shopping, when her credit card got declined. She started ranting and insulting everyone and kept insisting: "I'm not poor!" By the time the lady had finally stormed off, I had spittle on my face, and the cashier was almost in tears. 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, a drive-thru customer ordered a deal that includes fries and a drink with the sandwich. When I gave it to her, she screamed at me because she "didn't order fries." When I brought up that the deal includes them, she told me I should have "figured it out," called me a "fugly fat slob," and sped off. FML

She needs to read signs more often...

Tell her she has anger management issues and is acting like a child. She literally asked for it.

People are ridiculous.

I guess it's a popular misconception that all fat people are jolly...

It's not your fault, you didn't decide what was on sale
Mattlozano12 15
Well damn.

It's unfortunate people feel entitled to be pricks when they're at fault.

While I do find it somewhat rude that plus sizes wouldn't be included, that's certainly not your fault OP. And you even took the effort to say it quietly, so you were obviously trying to be discreet and not make her feel uncomfortable. Makes me wonder if she knew they weren't on sale and was looking for a fight...

Isn't it discriminating that the same merchandise for plus size weren't on sale though? makes me a bit angry.

Look at it from a business standpoint. More material used = more money spent on the product. I however, would rather have a happy customer vs. saving a few cents.

i get that more material used = more money. but how does one figure which becomes plus size? i know that theres a norm and usually anything bigger than an xl cost more. but a large is more material than an extra small? just silly to me
otecasacid 22
it's based on the usability of fabric. A measure of fabric can make 1 large and 1 small, 2 mediums, or one xs and one xl. when you start going to xx,xxx,xxxx,xxxxxx you're getting 1 shirt, OR EVEN LESS from the same fabric, that is why they cost more.

The reason they cost more is because a whole new pattern has to be created in order to make the damn pants.
KariAnn7985 8
I understand that larger sizes use more fabric, but if the pants are the same price to start with, I don't see the difference. Also, when stores have sales, aren't they the ones that eat the cost of the sale, not the manufacturer?

often plus sized clothing costs more than their regular counterpart
elusiveshame 22
It's not discriminatory. Why do people condone being overweight and sympathizing with them? I understand some people have a disorder, but most people are just flat out lazy; that doesn't deserve rewarding
ashley7x 4
asking for a sale on plus sized clothing along with other sizes is condoning being overweight? Really?
