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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

Considering most stores put a size 10 as plus size I don't see why they also wouldn't be on sell

Cmon, if you're fat, you KNOW you're fat. If you're going to get angry over anything that suggests you're fat, then do something about it! 30mins a day running, stop eating junk food and start eating more healthy food and within a few months viola! you have a body to be proud of.

Not all fat people eat junk food... Just saying.
ZoroMiHawk 25
not eating junk food and sitting on a chair all day working or whatever whilst doing ZERO physical activity can still get you fat, because your calorie intake requirement per day PLUMMETS if you do nothing which leads to you gaining fat anyway.

Pfft, tell that to my friend. She's drastically underweight to the point you can see her ribs and all she does is sit in front of a computer. Same with several others I know.

I really get annoyed when people make it sound as though it's so easy to lose weight. It's really not. There are people who exercise regularly and eat healthy food yet still struggle to lose weight. Then there are those who eat junk food and never exercise yet still stay skinny and no one ever shames them. Not everyone has enough time to prepare healthy meals every day or to go to the gym and exercise for x amount of hours every week because they work crazy hours. Plus, not everyone can get skinny because they're not supposed to. There are some people out there who are naturally curvy but they're called fat because our society has a seriously warped perception of what a woman's body is supposed to look like e.g some people call women like Kim Kardashian and Beyonce fat.

How many months of viola playing does it take to get a body to be proud of?

51. No one calls curvy people fat. There is a difference between curvy and lumpy, and tumblr doesn't seem to understand it. In order to get to be 100 lbs overweight, you have to consume 3500x100 calories over what your body needs to maintain itself. That isn't naturally being heavy, that isn't genetics. That is lazy. Some people burn more calories than others, but any stick thin person, if they FELT THE URGE to stuff themselves, can and will put on the weight.

I have a coworker you could consider "plus sized" and she's way healthier than me, who's skinny as a rail. She has five kids, works out, and generally eats healthy. She has a great ass and perky boobs (seriously how do you do that with FIVE KIDS?) and I'm jealous of HER physique. So no. Not all overweight people are unhealthier than skinny people. (as I scarf down an extra cheese and ham pizza that no matter how much I eat won't put a pound on my tiny behind whether I like it or not.)

It's not curvy, it's over weight. There is a difference.

It's also hard to quit smoking. Or drugs. Or alcohol. But just keep using hem, because it's hard!

anorexia is a bitch isn't it?

hey, she didn't say she had anorexia, did she? no. I weigh 95 pounds and you can see my ribs and hip bones and basically my whole skeleton, and I eat every couple hours and sit around quite a lot except when I'm at work. she probably has a fast metabolism like I do, and who do you think you are that you can assume someone has a disease and put them down for it? shame on you.

@106: No need to be an ass. She's not anorexic, that much I know. I've known her for 5 years. She just has a fast metabolism. : @115: Thank you. She does have a fast metabolism. ^^ I once got her McDonald's once and she still didn't gain a pound.
jeepers_1 21
McDonalds doesn't make people fat. Only eating McDonalds and not exercising makes you fat. One can eat McDonalds weekly if they balance what they eat the rest of the day and continue being active.

Well she deserves to be embarrassed if she did that

well sometimes the truth hurts... OK most of the time, but that's not your fault.

Yeah, no one wins here. I feel bad for both you and the customer both. Stupid store policies

Poor lady, that must have been embarrassing for her. Maybe she didn't have enough money on her to buy them at the original price? She would have to walk away empty handed with the whole queue looking at her either way, maybe she thought if she made light of it she wouldn't be as embarrassed or if she made a scene other people would be too embarrassed to look. Sometimes making the comment yourself hurts less than someone else making it, as at least you're controlling it being said and are prepared for the judgements and stares.
