"Well, if you were fat maybe I'd help you..."
I went to LANE BRYANT yesterday with my friend. No, you're right, i don't fit any of those clothes but my friend needed some good interview clothes so i was there to help her out. Anyways, I didn't tell her this but this black sales lady was there. She took one good look at me when we came in and she had the nastiest look like "what do you think you're doing here " look. I left the store a couple of times while waiting for my friend to choose and went around the nearer stores in the mall to find some shorts. The second time i went back in, i found a shirt that i thought would look cute on my friend. So I asked the sales lady if they had it in a different color or one without buttons. The lady looked at me with the biggest attitude moving her index finger back and forth and said "Well, if you were fat maybe I'd help you but since your little skinny ass walked in here just to insult us big women, then i don't think i owe you any explanation or help." Then she walked away rolling her eyes! What nerve! I wasn't there to buy stuff for ME, I was there to help my friend pick out some stuff. And she knew that too! She saw us walk in together! She just waited for the right moment when my friend was far enough away so she could insult me like that!!!! What nerve!!! I never chose to be skinny you know. At least they have stores like LANE BRYANT specifically made for heavy set women. They don't have stores for size "0"s and it's really hard to find a size zero that fits you. I literally have to go to the juniors section, a twenty-six year old woman going to the juniors section, to find clothes. You know how hard it is during interviews when they see this tiny girl that looks like ten years old! Plus, men tend to take advantage of you as well! It's not easy being this skinny, and I really wish i could gain more weight! But it's really hard for me. Ask anybody! It's not something i'm proud of, but if big women get treated badly, so do we small skinny women. I shouldn't have been treated that way. That was so not fair!
