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.

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.

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

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

The salesperson approached me and said in the nastiest voice imaginable "These are workout clothes." After I said "Yes, I know," she said "Do you work out?" -- again, with horrible tone. I left. I wish I could go back in time and lay into her. Y'all should have seen the way she looked at me. Mean as could be. Instead of responding I felt full of shame over my weight and left.
