I wish the salespeople at Sephora would give me some peace. Fat or skinny, they bombard me the minute I walk in the door.

I do know what you mean though, while clothes shopping I receive better attitudes. But I have a better one myself, as I've gone from hating clothes shopping to loving it.

I think you may have something there. I think that I have noticed the same thing. Wow.

Having been a woman who has been thin..i notice what I call "becoming invisible." When ever I gain weight, I notice that I fall off the radar of my fellow man.

Have any of you had the same kind of thing happen.

I actually had the opposite happen. Recently, my DD and I went into a Torrid store so she could shop (she is obese) and the sales clerk went right up to her and asked if she could help and proceeded to spout out all the specials. But she totally ignored me. Now, technically, I could buy a few things in a Torrid, even though it's a plus sized store. But I suppose I am not their target consumer.

I can relate esp with guys looking at me. I was skinny before i gained 70lbs during pregnancy. When i was thin i got alot of attention. I kinda got used to being fat and invisable. Now i get looked at more and say wtf are u looking at? Lol

At least you can do something about weight. Older people frequently feel invisible. They still buy things, but they tend to be more critical, and less susceptible to impulse purchases so they're no longer idea consumers and get ignored.
