I am not a skinny person, I am not a lady with "curves"...I, Aethian, am fat. I know this I accept the 'comments' mostly well. If you've been here awhile you have seen a couple things I have posted that made me cry from this fact but I am slowly day by day getting stronger. (The fact I've lost a couple inches doesn't hurt either. Yay 2 to the 20 I'm aiming for.)
But when I go shopping for some clothes for me (something I DO NOT like to do) I expect the ladies and gents to be somewhat civil. But when I go in for some under clothing I really expect them to be civil.
So I go in to the one place I know to have bra's that fit me and work well for work. There are three ladies there and no one in the store. One of the ladies talked about going over to Target to get something to drink and eat. Second girl nudged the third to assist me. So she comes over and pastes on a fake smile.
TG: Hey welcome to *place* looking for anything in particular?
Me: Just need to pick up a couple bras, but thought I would look around first.
TG: Well have you been...sized?
Me: Yea.
TG: How long ago?
Me: About a year.
TG: Then you should get sized again since it's been so long. Just ask either of us when your ready.
Me: Kay..
So I go off to look and she heads over to the back to rehang items from the fitting room. The second girl...jack nothing except watching me like a hawk. I look at a few outfits and put them to the three questions and getting a no on at least one of those questions so...the outfits go back.
I get ready to go get my bras and the third girl has disappeared into the back so all I have left is the second girl.
Me: Hey, the other lady said I should get resized, think you could do that for me?
SG: *long sigh* Fine...I guess.
Me: Okay, so in the back shirtless or around my shirt?
SG: *makes a slight snear but quickly masks her face* Around your shirt...let me get my tape.
And she disappears for a second or two and I head back to the bra section and look at some of the different styles. She returns and just comes up behind me..
SG: Arms up.
Me: *slightly jumping* Wow..okay. *arms go up and she starts to measure me*
SG: Oop looks like I have to get the big tape.
Me: *blinks as she disappears again*
Third girl by this time is back and gives me a questionable look before starting over and the second girl manages to turn up and does a somewhat reasonable job measuring.
SG: Looks like...58B.
TG: *raises an eyebrow but isn't saying anything*
Me: Uh...I normally wear a 52C now...
SG: The NUMBERS say 58B and we don't go that high. You'll have to get them online. Sorry.
TG: *starts heading over* 52C?
SG: I handled it! The fatso needs to go online.
Me: *raising an eyebrow* Excu...
TG: You need to go fold shirts in the back.
SG: GOD I hate when they try to make themselves skinnier. LOOK you need a 58. So what...have breast reduction or something? They should have firmed you up.
TG: BACK NOW.
Second girl makes a face and stomps to the back while the first lady comes in with drinks for all. Completely not knowing whats going on she brightly asks how I'm doing.
Me: I'm leaving...not coming back. Didn't have to come here now. Probably won't miss me either. Should take my name off your mailing list before I go.
Third girl nods to me and mutely takes my info to take my name from the list. First lady is looking very confused and asks me what happened. I told her I didn't appreciate the other girls comments and that she's working in the wrong clothing store. First lady looks to the third girl and heads towards the back. As I'm walking out she disappears before the first lady and I have a feeling second girl isn't going to have a job for the rest of the night.
