Well, he wasn't lying, but that's the kind of things you keep to yourself. :-/
Oh shit. My parents house is 15 mins away from that gas station. I'm gonna go there and see if the guy will write "skinny little asian guy" on my receipt.
Pathetic
2char
I guess the fact that I laughed makes me a terrible person.
But yeah, uncalled for.
Agreed, he could of just wrote "Black Lady with weight issues." :D
People are so easily offended nowadays it's ridiculous.
Was the gas station attendant black? If he was then well wow....it wouldn't have made the news, would it?
I dunno anymore. I think they are just blowing this out of proportion and well not everyone is a "Mr.Nice Guy".
while its offensive yes
what generic descriptive words could someone use that wouldn't offend her?
"weight issues"
"over weight"
"chubby"
"round"
"big"
all of those would also offend her.
while it was uncalled for, you also have to agree that people are way way way to easily offended now days.
Sure she is offended and it may have been a bit to "forward" but saying your not going back somewhere because someone put "big fat" on a recipet is overkill.
its not even a news story about her race, which a news story like this is usually about.
heres another issue i have, are we really to lazy to find out generally interesting news stories that our media decides to do a story on a lady being called fat?
I honestly don't see anything wrong with it. Maybe the attendant should have just written Big Black Lady but seriously stop getting so bent out of shape over the small things.
i'm surprised she isn't angered over the "black lady" part. not like the gas station would care, losing her as a customer wouldn't do much anyway.
/overkill
don't hate on me guise <3[/white]
Suppose its better than "lvl 40 Snorlax"
Pretty messed up though.
Basically there were lots of other identifying features he could have chosen to write on that receipt. When you work with customers you do occasionally have to describe them to other co-worker and you don't say things like "That big fat ugly tw*t over there". You say "The gentleman with the blue socks on" or whatever.
You definately don't write it down. And if you have written it down, you don't give it to the f*cking customer. I mean, seriously! What a ******. Presumably, in this example, the person who wrote the note didn't intend for it to be given to the fat ******.
But I don't think her boycotting the gas station is an over-reaction. I think she sounds pretty calm and understanding considering what he wrote.
I guess thats one way to identify her...
I think "blue shirt" would have been more suitable though...
that puzzled me aswell
in that situation would it not make more sense from their point of view to simply put it on a postit note instead of the receipt?
infact this is the first time ive heard of someone being dumb enough to physically write that on the customers copy of all places.
the big fat ****** needs a mirror :teeth:Quote:
"It says 'black lady,' and I can understand that because I am a black lady," Hodges told News10. "But I don't get 'big fat.' I don't get that part."
well that wasn't really a smart idea
I wonder why he wrote that XD
But yeah if I ever see a receipt with small and skinny lil'emo written on it I'd probably lol, though my description does seems to be more friendly XD but yeah I usually don't like people ****in around about my height (I'm a head smaller than other people ._.), but seeing it on a receipt would make me lol xD.
See, OnRPG, this is how people get shot.
This has made my day.
Thank you for the lulz onRPG.
If big fat black lady doesn't want to be called big fat black lady she should lose weight.
she was shorted 10 bucks. so the guy had to find some way to remember what they look like. Think all asians look alike? black people are just as bad. Writing big and fat is just a physical description.
Don't understand why she was so offended, if she doesn't think shes big and fat, how the hell would people describe her?
politically correctness is such a sensitive subject these days, people getting butthurt all over.
She might have been ugly too. Doesn't mean it's an appropriate thing to say to her if she's a customer.
I don't get the problem.
They can't just say black lady... there might be plenty of black ladies going in for gas.
She was big and fat, so he put big fat.
I don't get the problem.
Her choice to be big and fat. I don't get the problem of son seeing it. The son knows she's big and fat. Its not a secret. O.o How can you be embarrassed of people noticing that about yourself when you're THAT big...
I don't get the problem. :P
Couldn't the guy have asked for her name or something?
Add a little common sense to the situation its the easiest way to identify someone by using their characteristics that stand out the most.
And also while its harsh and all that the lady needs to loose weight
i dont care if you are big boned, have a problem it all bullshit until i see it on a docters note. all down to self discipline.
Anyway, fat lady being offended, that's the discussion.
I wonder if she would have complained of sexual harassment if someone wrote "sexy chick" or something like that. It's all hypothetical of course.
That was uncalled for he could have put black lady blue shirt or whatever color she was wearing that day. I guess if it were an ugly person he would have put ugly lady and some of you would be ok with that. The fact is you can't say or in this case write whatever you want and expect people to always just take it.

On topic: How ungentlemanly can a person get, called a big-boned woman "big fat." I'd like to speak to the mother of that ill-mannered man.
:D If my mother was asked why I did something stupid, she'd just say "Well I didn't raise him to be an idiot.", lol.
And eh parents wont take the blame for how annoying or ill mannered their kids turn out. They'll just say "I didn't raise him like that.". The same old shit parents say so they wont look like bad parents.
