People who can't help themselves

People don't have the right to judge how much food you're buying.

YOU know what you're putting in your body. YOU know it was only chicken breast and brocolli. Her opinion shouldn't matter at all (I know, and I understand, that it hurt you).

She probably looked at you, was jealous that you are damn fine, and wanted to shoot you down.

I hope you told her supervisor. I'm certain that Whole Foods doesn't conduct business that way and would not want their cashiers do so either.
People are generally not nice and don't have a clue as to what they speak about. I wouldn't pay her no mind honey. Just keep working on you and your eating habits and let it roll off your back.

I don't think she meant anything by it. The box was heavy; that's what she said. It's her job to talk to you. She didn't call you fat or say you were overeating or make any assumptions about you, negative or otherwise. You could have said anything in response, "Broccoli weighs a lot, doesn't it?" or something. You jumped to the conclusion that she's judging you instead.

This happened to my mum before in a supermarket
Another customer commented on her overflowing trolley
My mum said 'I'm having a family gathering of 10 people round tonight IS THAT OK WITH YOU?'

I think it was more likely that she looked at you and how in shape you are and was surprised at the weight of the food in your box. I really don't think she meant any harm. Probably blurted it out without thinking.

It came off as judgemental. She should've kept her mouth shut if she didn't have anything positive to say. I talk to my cahsiers all the time but normally they will say ooh that looks good have you tried it before? But to come out and say that weighs alot you must be hungry IS HER JUDGING. Next time look at her name badge and report her. She probably won't lose her job but should at least get a lesson in customer service.

That happened to me once. I had a frozen pizza, a bottle of wine, and big bar of chocolate (this of course was before MFP), and the cashier made a similar comment... "are you going to eat all that?" I just looked at her like.. WTF business is that of yours? Totally pissed me off. Don't let it derail you though.. "I see stupid people"

I have dealt with friends having/recovering from ed and I'm a cashier as well. I won't say anything about people's groceries, but sometimes if its something that catches my eye, I'll check out the nutrition label and ask them what is it like. But some people can be flat out rude and I'm sorry that the lady was that way

Having worked in a retail situation before, I know I said tons of probably really sumb things to people. When you just check people out all day you look for ways to start conversations. It was probably harmless.

i've had people come through my line with that and i just say it looks like you're gonna have a good night or ask them what the wine is like, since i dont drink a whole lot

lol

I was a grocery cashier. I tried very hard not to comment on what people were buying, unless it was obviously on sale or non-food related. Example: cat litter was on sale, these 10lb containers of it. So when people would come through with like, 6 of them, I'd joke "stocking up, eh?" Hopefully non-offensive.

However, I didn't care to make small talk about the quanitity of food people bought, unless they brought it up. Some people would automatically justify their 3 carts full - "I'm throwing a dinner party!" "I'm a Girl Guide leader, these are for a camping trip!" I always just smiled and said "that's great" even though I really don't care if you consume $400 of groceries in a week.

Anyway, I think my point is that, having done the job, I don't get how people even care enough to make a comment about someone else's purchases.

Thanks guys. Yeah I realize that she is ignorant and it shouldn't bother me, but none of us are completely invulnerable to other peoples' comments and even though we know we should shrug it off, it's hard not to take it to heart. Little comments like that as MJ says are tiny pushes toward an ED. They add up. I'm not going to blame anyone else for my ED but I wasn't confident and secure enough to let people's remarks bounce off of me, and it fed my self-doubt. Making comments about peoples' food is so unnecessary, especially when you should be proffessional about someone's groceries. I really wanted to punch her in the face for that.

ED's start from little comments from different people taht build up over time and affect our body image. we don't always know what started an ED but we know what contributed to it. so yes, i will never blame anyone else for my past ED,but i will say taht if our society was less focused on commenting on each others food and how it's "too much" or "too little" there would probably be less people with EDs. i know mine was a result of feeling controlled by my family, but those comments don't help. sure she probably didn't mean anythign malicious by it. but it still was hurtful to OP so it was hurtful... our feelings are our feelings. i've never liked when people try to convince someone else to not feel their feelings. it leads to bad things. feel your feelings, express them, and be heard... and there would be less problems if we all did that.
