Fat girls outraged over being called "Fat girls" on restaurant check
246 replies, posted
[quote]STOCKTON, Calif. - When we pick up the check, we can sometimes expect it to hurt a little, but what happened Thursday night to three Stockton women, is another story. Now, they want the restaurant to pay.
Christina Duran and her friends had enjoyed their evening at the Cameo Club Casino's restaurant, but when the check came, Christina couldn't believe her eyes.
"I got the bill, and I was like, why does the receipt say, 'fat girls?'" Duran said.
At first, her friends assumed she was joking.
"I was laughing at her, and she was like, 'I'm serious.' I'm like, 'No, it does not say fat girls, let me see it,'" said Christina Huerta, who was also at the table along with Isabel Robles.
"[Huerta] was like, 'You're lying,'" Duran said. "And I was like, 'No, I'm serious. Look at it.' She was like, 'fat girls?'"
"I was like, 'Give me that,' and I'm looking at it. I was like, 'Oh, heck no,'" Robles said.
When the server returned, he denied having anything to do with it. He explained that, Jeff, the name on the receipt, must have been the one who typed the words into the system, but Jeff was gone, so the three demanded to see a manager.
"He had like a smirk on his face, like if it was funny, but he was trying not to laugh," Huerta said, describing the manager.
The manager apologized, but his first reaction was to offer 25 percent off the bill. The ladies were shocked.
"He was like, 'Well, I can do 50 percent,' and we were just like, are you serious?" Huerta said.
Huerta took a photo of the receipt, and although she was embarrassed, she wanted others to see it. The women said they can understand why people will laugh when they first hear this story, but after awhile it's no laughing matter.
"It's not," Robles said as she started to cry. "It's not funny. I can just see it over and over again, and I still can't believe it. They labeled us 'fat girls.' It's just something we got to deal with."
News10 asked the management at the Cameo Club Casino how something like this could happen.
"I was really appalled, obviously, at the behavior," Bar Manager Jimmy Seimers said.
Seimers wasn't working the night this happened, but when he found out, he questioned Jeff who, Seimers said, admitted to typing the words into the system.
"I don't think he understood completely because he was busy last night, but that's just no excuse," Seimers said.
Seimers said Jeff was suspended as management continues to investigate the incident; he added the investigation would probably not find anything to save Jeff's job.
Even though the restaurant is investigating the incident, Seimers wants apologize to the women.
"I just want to tell them that we're sincerely sorry for that, and that we'll do everything in our power to make sure that this never happens to anyone ever again," Seimers said.
Nonetheless, it isn't clear if anything can make up for the damage done.
"I still can't believe it," Huerta said. "I still can't get that out of my mind, what happened to us. I still can't believe that somebody would put that on a receipt."
"They can't change it," Robles said. "This is something that we got to live with, all three of us."
Several managers at the casino said this was an isolated incident and that a relatively new employee responsible. They also said they hope these three women will return to the casino, so that the managers can apologize in person.

Fat chicks are too sensitive
Well, it's still the truth...
While that wasn't necessarily called for, they girls sound like they way overreacted to it.
Haha. Good on the waiter.

Yeah, if someone calls me a faggot, I just am like hey fuck you and I am done with it
It may have been the truth, but that was rather rude and unprofessional of the server.

I don't know about you guys but I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect to not be insulted by the people who's paychecks you contribute to.
But it's ok cause they're fat lol!

Yeah, but one guy being a dick shouldn't be enough to get your meal for free as the article was implying.

Hilariously even. If nobody had brought this story to the media, [I]nobody other than the parties involved would know about it.[/I]
By drawing attention to it by going to the media, they're just drawing all the attention to themselves, making their "plight" that much harder.

Clearly they were contributing quite a bit to those server's paycheques.
Am I right fellas!?
But really, most of us would just take the 50% and run with it. They're acting like they've been persecuted in some horrific way.

That's often what hurts the most
Unlike

because you know it's not true, or you're proud of being homosexual. I doubt many girls are proud of being fat.
Nonetheless, this is pretty stupid, they should've accepted the 50% off and called it night.

Don't sugar coat the truth, otherwise you'd eat that too.
Though the restaurant looks a wee bit sleazy too.
Reminds me of the whole 'lady chinky eyes' thing a while back
It's like trying to pull somebody out of a crowd that's black.
You say "The black guy"
What else do you say? If that's the most prominent thing about them then you grab that, not the fact he has glasses or some shit.
Edit: The staff wrote this because they might not have known what table it was going it to - so the most distinguishable thing about them is they're fat.
If they'd ordered loads of hamburgers, fries and donuts I can totally agree with him trying to make a point, but as it stands I think this is a bit mean
Run their asses around the block a couple times
oh god, all of us with posts like this in this thread are gonna receive a ban I bet
"And I was like and he was like and I was like and she was like and then I was like..."

But you [I]don't[/I] have to live with it. In fact, you shouldn't. Instead of making a national shitstorm, put down the chicken and exercise.

Oh get over it.
Don't get mad at the waiter, get mad at the way you treated your body imo

Chicken is only bad when it's deep fried or cooked with the skin on.
Otherwise it's quite healthy in terms of amount of fat.
But yeah, there's a trend lately with blaming being obese on everything else than yourself, when it's ironically yourself who's the biggest contributer to the reason.

Thing is, I really don't care if they don't want to exercise or something. I could be in much better shape myself TBQH, but they're acting like they're fucking lepers or something, as if this is some terrible plight they've been persecuted all their lives for.
You got called fat by a fucking minimum wage server! If that gets you this upset, how the fuck did you make it this far in life? How the fuck did you even make it through school?!
if they cared about being called fat surely they could care enough to become un-fat
not that i have anything against fat people. only those who can do something but don't, then get pissy about the fact that people heckle them about it. it's now socially acceptable to beat on smokers for smoking, but as soon as it comes to fat fat fatty fats oh nooooo
but like i said i have nothing against fat people most of my friends are fat
fat people are too sensitive
those lard arsed tub lugging wonderful people

Not everyone can easily control their weight. For some people it's harder than others.
I have a ridiculous metabolism and an extremely weak stomach. I have to struggle to stay over 90 pounds and need to take drugs and supplements to not suffer from malnutrition. I certainly wouldn't appreciate being insulted by the people I am paying money to for food.
[QUOTE=Rika-chan;38754425]Dori is rating everybody dumb

I thought that was common knowledge
sometimes being overweight isn't really able to be controlled due to genetics and metabolism, but it looks like this is a different story
[QUOTE=Rika-chan;38754425]Dori is rating everybody dumb

he's just a shitposter
I want to see the receipt, not because of the "fat girls" part, but more to see what humongous amounts of food they consumed
i mean fuck if you get that pissy over bar staff insulting you, and acting like being fat is something you have no control over, something is wrong. [B]one of the fatties even laughs when told that they're called fat on the bill, as if it was a good joke.[/B]
as soon as it turned out to not be a joke, everybody is crying syrup and sweating gatorade

I really don't understand how weight is such a sensitive issue for women.
