Customers Called 'Fat Girls' on Restaurant Bill


I don't think you can sue someone or a business for calling you fat.

maybe so-there are lots of stupid people who get on juries because most people who have real jobs etc can get off
 

Yea.. its a descriptive term. I don't see the big deal. People probably describe me as skinny guy. I'm skinny. It doesn't hurt my feelings. Why does someone describing you as fat hurt your feelings if you are fat? And before you say its because no one thinks its bad, gross, or abnormal, try being a 6 ft tall 135 lb white male. I'm not saying its cool to walk up to people and make fun of them for things, but if you are trying to describe someone so you can recognize them later, thats different. I think these fat girls need to grow up. You give the guy the finger, maybe talk to his boss because its bad customer service, but you don't call the news and whine. That just makes things worse
 
They should apologize and comp them for some free biggie sized cheese fries on their next visit.

I always got out of jury duty I was in court so fricken often anyway.....I do have a point to make...it seems alot of people in this thread with identifying the three women as fat girls...how about if the same restaurant identified 3 gay people in a negative way like three homos or the 3 or 3 black people in a negative way..would that be ok too ?
 
Were they fat? Isn't fat also a compliment as in "I smoked some really fat dope"?

I hope you find my post fat.
 
IT WAS FUNNY...

Obesity isn't because of "glandular" issues or things that are beyond anyones control.

I'm 6'6" and 245 pounds and I've been exercising since I was 5 by some form or fashion.

I dont eat trash, junk food and eat in moderation.

People need to get it through their heads that food is fuel.

Not a crutch or a hobby. Its fuel for the body.

As a Conservative I'm pretty dead against any added tax's but their shpuld be a fat tax added into the health premiums of every obese individual.

You want lower rates, take better care of your selfs.

Like car ins. You drive like a crazy person your rates are going to be high.
 

Its easier to be unfat than unblack. Dont you think ?
 

Yea...If the 3 gay men were dressed very flamboyantly to where the guys distinguished themselves by their own choice of attair or the 3 black men were the only group of black men in there so a server could identify them because they in fact are a group of 3 black men, yes that would be perfectly fine. Its not rude to point out that a person is black. What are you getting at here?

The point is, while it may be stupid customer service, its just a descriptive term. Nothing to get all up in arms about. The only reason why its on the news is because its funny, not because the news thinks we should feel bad for these girls.

I can understand them being upset for being called fat, but then again, come on...they have to know they are fat.
 

Or 3 blacks and not using the word blacks.

true its not like he wrote on the ticket

the three disgusting hogs or whales etc
 

Quoted for truth. Complications from obesity are costing this country a fortune so don't act like its a victimless act to be fat. I was blessed with a high metabolism that kept me very skinny for the first 25 years of my life. Now I have to exercise and eat right to keep from gaining weight. I can't believe how many perfect strangers come up and scoff at me for eating a salad because I'm not fat. Its a commonly held idea especially in lower income area that its healthy to be a little overweight. Its not. So I'm going to continue to eat my salads and run so I don't get diabetes.

To most people, calling two girls in a restaurant fat is a derogatory and demeaning statement.

its far different than using a racial or ethnic slur since blacks, Latinos etc cannot help what color or race they were born

(sour cream on the side. no extra charge.)
 

Whatever happened to the time where little dumb things like this weren't news-worthy?

Someone's an insensitive prick = news story worthy of investigating and reporting on?

We're steeped in wars left and right and that's what they want to talk about?

You can sue, but not likely you would win. If they refused to serve them because they were fat, they might have a discrimination suit.
 
So what if it had been 3 guys and the Waiter put at the top of the Ticket.....NERDS?

I mean if I saw 3 guys and they were all wearin Democrat Pins. I might be tempted to put Jackazzes on the Top of the ticket. :lamo

you can discriminate for a good reason, a bad reason or no reason at all as long as its not an ILLEGAL (ie race sex, gender, national origin, age or disability) reason. Being a porker is not a protected status nor should it ever be
