I read in a glamour article about a graduate student of Rice University and her colleague going to a clothing store and wearing "fat suits". They compared who gets better service and latter experience was very disappointing. A sales associate even wondered aloud why the overweight would bother going to a store where their sized aren't carried.
This hits home because my mom is a lil bit on the chubby side and I have seen sales lady glaring at her for asking assistance to get a bigger size. My ugly side would always show because nobody deserves to be treated that way!!! I know how much my mom has kept trying to loose the extra weight because she's also diabetic. People are just rude and it makes you question how they were brought up. I'm sorry but good manners and respect starts at home.
