Aili Si on Sunday posted on Pizza Hut Singapore's Facebook page a photo of the receipt, saying she felt insulted at the description. "I don't think it is nice for your staff to describe me as such on my receipt," she wrote in a comment accompanying the photo which showed the receipt for her take out order. The receipt had a handwritten note at the bottom that read "Pink Fat Lady", apparently to identify her as she waited for her order. "As a customer I definitely hope to be treated with basic respect deserved by any others. I hope to receive an apology from the staff and Pizza Hut," she wrote on Facebook. "Just feel insulted. What's wrong being plus size? I'm a customer n I pay for my pizza! Not that I'm get it for free!" she added in her post. Pizza Hut later issued a statement apologising "unreservedly" and confirmed it had launched an investigation into the matter. "This incident goes against our corporate values and we do not condone behaviour or actions that offend people," said the statement signed by the management and staff.[/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2014/10/14/pizza-hut-apologises-fat-pink-lady-customer-insult"]http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2014/10/14/pizza-hut-apologises-fat-pink-lady-customer-insult[/URL]
Lol saw it on the local news. Pizza hut here is shit, so I'm not surprised.
Sure, it's not professional, but: [quote]"Just feel insulted. What's wrong being plus size? I'm a customer n I pay for my pizza! Not that I'm get it for free!" she added in her post.[/quote] It wasn't "disgusting fat pig lady", it was just probably the most fitting description of her. What else would they say? "Oh.. uh... average height lady.. blue eyes.. brown hair.."
Why would you write that on the receipt if you are going to be giving it to her? Couldn't they have asked her for her name?
[quote]"Just feel insulted. What's [B]wrong being[/B] plus size? I'm a customer [B]n[/B] I pay for my pizza! Not [B]that I'm get[/B] it for free!"[/quote] Fat or not, this woman needs a goddamn grammar corrector.
Curious about if this is true or not If she picked it up in store wouldn't she of seen it then?

The first part is arguably grammatically correct. Though to be honest i'm with him. It seems like a dumb move to write it on the receipt.

Pink Guy has found his one true love.
Fat is an insult Tubby is an insult Pudge is an insult. Seriously, don't ever mention the person's weight or body shape that implies him or her fat. Fat people are sensitive you know

I can kinda see it says fat lady, but I am sure that it says pipu and not pink
Last time I've been to Pizza Hut, almost every customers in this restaurants are fat people.
Bet she still ate it. Fatty fat fat.

I suppose the term "large" would have been better to describe her?

"Oh.. uh... average height lady.. blue eyes.. brown hair.."[/QUOTE] You don't fucking write it on the receipt. Sure, as you run a food business you may have to describe the customers between you and the other employees, to get the orders to the right people, but not to the customer's face.
I never understood why this whole fat thing is still a thing. So you're sized, So you've got a few extra pounds on you, Why complain when described as fat? You're fat, and you're the one being back-assed by being offended by your own appearance's description. Then perhaps either deal with it and slim up or suck it up and wear your label with pride rather than neglect? I'm practically a skeleton with skin ontop and you don't hear me crying when people call me skinny / tiny.

Isn't it like your own fucking fault if you are disgusting fatass or are they just jumping on the SJW bandwagon because they feel oppressed?
Not everyone choose to be fat, equal to not everyone choose to be super skinny. It's just how your nature is, how your body is. Still doesn't mean you should have so low self-esteem to disallow a word's usage as definition of yourself. Fucking.. sit on the cashier or something, or eat him/her or whatever. Use it for one's advantage, not for denial of one's self-portrait.
With the thread title, I somehow went into searching up fat pride, and fell into the cesspool of tumblr fat pride people. Jesus christ, I don't even understand.
You buy a product but you also buy a service that goes with it, and that service is a nice tuxido gent. delivering you the pizza in a fine way, even if you weigh 300kilotons.
I wonder if this is actually true. So many times has this happened and it turned out to be false and was written on after by the person and posted just to stir up shit

The thread title is annoying me to no end.
[QUOTE=proch;46231234]You've got no punctuation and capitalization either, though.[/QUOTE] who fucking cares
Pink Fat Lady sounds like something Gordon Ramsay would say on any of his shows. In any case it was in poor taste and a silly thing to do overall.
