Why do you feel comfortable embarrassing fat people in public for just existing?

You would mumble something to yourself under your breath if you saw someone who was larger than you shopping in the same area as you? Why? I can't even fathom why someone would do this. I'm a pretty average size, never been really skinny, never been really fat, but I just can't comprehend having a thought about someone else's body when they were simply existing 15 feet away from me.

It is called sizeism and is every bit as atrocious and harmful as racism.

Oh please.

Yeah this is taking a bit far... I am completely against sizeism (and ageism, etc.), but to compare being fat shamed in the 21st century to centuries of oppression of a particular race is uncalled for.

Really it’s not, by carry on with the weird hyperbole

Sizeism is actually much worse, because we are living in a post-racial society in the U.S.

WHAT?!?!?

This isn't the norm for most people as we know this is RUDE. I'm sorry this happened. People comment about my small size all the time and tell me to eat more food.

Can anyone seriously imagine, in 2024, a retail worker saying the “N” word to someone’s face? They’d instantly lose their career (and rightly so).

But OP had sizeism flung right in her face, with no repercussions; no consequences.

What gives? I know I wear a size 14. And if I was buying size 2 skirts for myself…what’s it to you?

Ugh sometimes I just hate people.

Vent over.

Marshall’s?

FFS, shop with some dignity.


The only people I imagine shopping at a Marshall’s are trumpers and poors. Is that what you want strangers to think of you when they read this?

So you’re a 14…. but now everyone also thinks you vote for trump.

You are rude. Go take a walk and be nice to your family this weekend.

I'm 44 and have not heard anyone be shamed out loud for fatness since probably middle school.

+1 it's also because people around here have this false sense of themselves....they truly believe they are better than most.

No way, it was a size 2 skinny mini blonde middle aged mom, for sure.

I don't know old people are some of the most critical and rude.

I received the nastiest customer service of my life in that store in Tysons. I had 2 different associates inform me that they didn't think they had anything suitable for my needs.

Yeah, no sh!t... but I was there to spend a lot of money on my nieces at Christmas. Like, of all times of the year, why be b!chy and judgmental towards people THEN? It's the GD season of GIVING!

I ended up gathering up everything that I was going to buy them, stood in line, let the gal ring me up, and then said j/k that's what I would have spent if Tatiana wasn't such an epic c-u-next-tuesday. 1

Are you 14 in age because you sound like a mean middle schooler.

I went there in April to buy things for the summer. The sales person looked me up and down and said "look around" and dismissed me. I identified about $4,000 worth of clothing and asked her if she had one dress in a size 12. She shrugged and said "no." I bought some of the brand at Saks in New York in January and called the sales person there who had been wonderfully helpful. In front of the Tyson's sales person, I ordered every item through Saks. The sales person tried to stop me, but couldn't without making a scene. Economic power is good.

Yeah sure. Pssst, we've seen "Pretty Woman" too.

I don't know about that store, but the stores at Tysons II are really strange. They almost attack you at Saks or Ferragamo to buy anything but sales clerks at stores like Ralph Lauren or Lafayette 148 don't want to be bothered.

IDK, I've worked mall retail and wasn't paid commission (our store had daily / YTD goals that our managers pushed HARD though.)

Not sure if these folks were but if not, maybe they were just on a power trip. Hold your head high, know that your money is as green as anyone else's and most of all know that it's probably not about you at all but ill-trained salespeople who don't care at all if you buy something or not.
