"Fat Girls"
Replies

yes it is completely inappropriate and unprofessional and yes that guy should lose his job. But those girls are being waaayyyyyy too dramatic. They really need to stop being such babies. Sorry for throwing my likely unpopular opinion out there, but I had to say it!0

It was rude and unprofessional. The employee should be fired, the tab comped, and no more f*cks given.
This.0 -
I think the differences between the men's reactions and the women's reactions on this thread are interesting.
Care to go into a little more detail?0 -
What happened to respect and common decency? We live in a society!!
A society where everything must be carefully said so as not to upset someone. Sorry, weak people are coddled enough.
are you kidding me?
coddled? carefully said?
they were out to dinner!!!!! its not his friggen place to call them fat girls.
why shouldnt they be treated as well as anyone else?
Listen, the fact is they weren't. It happened, it's not a nice thing to have happen, it's not professional. Nobody disagrees with those facts nor does anyone disagree with the fact that they were indeed fat girls. But if they're so offended why cry publicly and on an international level about it? It's not a horrendous abuse of human rights. Why is everyone so up in arms? It's hardly an atrocity. A little perspective is required perhaps!

People will always seek out reasons to justify hatred. It's no longer politically correct to hate someone for the color of their skin because they have no control over it.... but people have control over their weight so it's okay to hate someone for being obese.... or at least that is the thinking of the ignorant fools in this thread that you are responding to.
Of course, they don't realize that there are many people who may not have control because of physical conditions... and in many cases that don't have control for emotional conditions... but it is much easier to hate than show compassion.
For those who hate obese people, do NOT think that this is any different than hating someone for the color of their skin. If you don't know someone's medical or emotional health, then you have no idea why they have not managed to control their weight. You do NOT have a right to judge!
Hmm, are you not judging the "ignorant fools in this thread" then?0 -

Oh just how most of the men are like "eh... are they fat?"....... and the women are like "burn them at the stake!"0 -

oh i completely agree it should not be international news.0 -
I want to know if the ladies in question were fat.
If it was the other way round and it had been labeled " fit girls"
They woul have been really happy.
So why should rhey be shocked if it was an accurate representation of them?
Maybe it will be the kick they need to get in shape.
Um, no. Whether someone is fat can be a judgement that varies widely from person to person. It's exactly the same as labeling them "ugly girls" on the receipt. Not professional, not ok.
Well said! I agree.0 -

Hmm...I'm actually seeing a fair amount from both sides0 -
It's clear to me that these women are attempting to show they've been damaged in hopes that this spins into a lawsuit. One of the req'ts for most lawsuits is that there be some type of damage to the injured party.
The waiter deserves to be fired but other then that...let's just let this go.0 -
What an idiotic move of the employee. My guess is that he did it as a joke, and planned to change it to something nicer before giving it to them, but got busy and forgot. That's the best logic I can assemble for why he would actually give it to them like that. But they are just as bad - if they were truly as upset and embarrassed about it they wouldn't be talking about it to the media. They're now basically inviting everyone to look at the comment, look at them and criticize. I agree with those who said that handling this privately with a manager in the restaurant would have been the way to go.0

Pirates, common decency no longer exist sadly :frown:
I can't tell you how many times I have been called "fat girl" and honestly, I will admit I am still very much fat. But I wouldn't want for someone to put it on a receipt because I am a paying patron. If this ever happened to me, I would say "thanks captain obvious, I want to speak to your manager" but i wouldn't want to go to tv with it. :noway:
Honestly though, I couldn't order 900 bucks in food. I have a hard time ordering 20 bucks in food at a restaurant.:flowerforyou:
Probably...someone went and posted it was 900, so if it wasn't my bad :blushing:
From the receipt it looks like the food total was $25.50, not $900.0 -
I think that this is a small incident in a larger issue in society that will never be resolved...some people are dilholes.0

You are a hypocrite for stating we have no right to judge people whilst then go on to judge people on this thread enough to call them "ignorant fools". So who are you that doesn't stick to your own idea of we shouldn't judge?
Just because people have a different opinion to yours doesn't make them a fool.
I had nothing to say about the racism part until now, people don't choose what colour they are born, people can however choose what to put in their mouths.

We are all equally ignorant as to the reason behind their obesity. You are not exempt from that ignorance either by the way. I don't think it's relevant anyway why they are fat. They are fat but the waiter was still in the wrong. We all have opinions on this and yours is no more valid than anyone else's.
And the fact that you've resorted to name-calling actually clouds any good point that you might have been trying to make.0 -

Discrimination is discrimination is discrimination. Race, weight, etc. It's all the same. It's judgemental, rude, and pointless. Can we go back to REAL news now? I'm waiting to find out what's going to happen now that Jessica Simpson is pregnant again!0 -
The waiter was probably a young kid that thought it was amusing in his own mind. His description was accurate. I don't think it was ok, and I would have been embarrassed by it, too. But, the women shouldn't be getting national news attention for something so small. I'm fat, I've been ridiculed, I've gotten over it. I don't agree that the waiter should be fired, he should get written up...maybe....but firing him would just be stupid. If it hadn't gotten national media attention, they wouldn't be firing him. Hell, if they were embarrassed by a waiter calling them fat, what do they think is going to happen by the world seeing them on the news?0

It is unacceptable.
It is prejudice.
No, they should not let it go.
It deserves to be in the news.
The girls should consult a good lawyer.

I had nothing to say about the racism part until now, people don't choose what colour they are born, people can however choose what to put in their mouths.
My cousin is obese. But she wasn't until she was 24 years old when diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. The tumor was on her pituitary gland and putting pressure on other parts of her brain. It had to be removed. Without it, her body couldn't produce necessary hormones to regulate almost all the most important functions of her body. To replace this loss of hormones, she must take steroids. Steroids cause an increase in body mass. If one exercises and lift weights, then that mass turns to muscle. Unfortunately for my cousin, she couldn't exercise immediately after surgery. Water had to be drained from her brain 4 times during her hospital stay. This affected her equillibrium. The first time that the nurses helped her onto her feet after surgery, they sent her down the hall, by herself with a walker. She fell and broke her hip. It was months before she could move around enough to come home from the hospital. By that time, she was obese. At 24 years old, she had survived brain surgery, but she had lost her mobility and still had to continue on steroids.
She had a gastric bypass... eats 1000 calories a day... and she is still obese.
So... now that you have been informed and are no longer ignorant... do you still think you have the 'RIGHT' to judge my cousin for her obesity?
I forgive you for your ignorance...
For no reason, does anyone EVER have a right to judge.0 -
The three women took this story to mainstream media to make a point. We "fat people" DON'T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THIS *kitten*.
NOT gonna let it slide - NOT gonna slink out and say nothing - HELL NO.0 -
TO: Usedtobeahusky:
I have absolutely no idea what you're on about, what's your cousin got to do with this??!
Is "ignorant" your word of the day, you certainly like to use it alot.
One last thing, thank you SOOOO much for your compliment, I am actually 10 years older than you! :bigsmile:
Aww shucks you deleted the bit where you forgive me because I'm still young, lmfao!!!0
