Much worse things happen that don't get international press coverage. 'A waiter called us fat' is waaaay down on the list of bad things, a good dose of 'pull up your socks and get over it' is called for here! Fire the waiter. The end.0

It was rude and unprofessional. The employee should be fired, the tab comped, and no more f*cks given.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?0 -
I was teased so mercilessly about my weight growing up I wished I would die by the time I was in 4th grade. Seriously, I read a book about people who could will their heart to stop and I would try all the time to just will my heart to stop.
To all you people who *gave me the kick to get in shape* all you did was give me years of self hatred and self abuse.
This guy who labeled the thing as *fat girls* is a jerk. This behavior is unacceptable and unprofessional. Anyone who thinks this is the bright beacon light that will help these women get in shape quit justifying nasty behavior. They know they are fat. All you are doing is justifying plain rudeness.0 -

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!0 -
Just watched the footage and the 'girls' are milking it for all they can, one has a trembling lip saying "We'll never get over this" purleeease, it's not like they've been physically attacked or something. Waaaay OTT.
It's like she said ^. They are being ridiculous, I'm referring to the situation. Yes, not nice, but they are milking it too much.0 -

Exactly. Atrocity? I think not. There are much worse atrocities done daily.0 -
Would I be too embarrassed to take this to the media? Absolutely!
Was that manager a total prick? Um yes.
Any name objectifying these women would be wrong - fat, fit, whatever. If I saw on my bill that I was labeled as "the black girl with big t*ts" - you bet I would want a full refund and giftcards for life.0 -

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!0 -
I think the differences between the men's reactions and the women's reactions on this thread are interesting.0

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

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 -

Nice try. I'm not hating you for your ignorance though...0
