that's ridiculous to treat someone that way ... and then for the manager to have a smirk on his face when this was pointed out to him. However a firing is not in order ... how about some sensitivity training?
I have certain rules I live by ... My First Rule ... I don't believe anything the government tells me ... George Carlin
"Life Is What Happens To You When Your Busy Making Other Plans" John Lennon
so wait, is that person quoted by Horos saying that because they are big girls, they don't deserve respect?
Bullshit. It was wrong and the guy deserved to be fired.
If stating the obvious is disrespectful I don't know what to say.
Maybe a write-up for ceremonial purposes. Does anyone else work in customer service? The reality is society is trying to coddle everyone for their faults. You can make fun of me all you want and I won't care. Granted there's not a lot to make fun of.....I kid.......I just mean I'm not really a member of any minority groups. But fat people aren't a minority either.
Looking like this needs moved to AMT, then I'll just shut up.
My wife has two long time friends, both very big girls, i hate going to a resturant with them, they complain how long the food takes, they complain that the waitress doesn't come around enough to refill their glasses, they complain how skinny the waitress is, they complain how long it takes to get dessert and they want leave a shitty tip and God for bid if chef forgets the fries on the plate :fp: :fp: :fp:
I think when fat people go to out to eat they get as excited as a little kid going to Disney World, it aint always gona be the dream, take it for what it is and try to enjoy it.
Another reality check for the 3 ladies.
They were insulted by "One Server". Thats all, one person made a very harsh comment, in writing, in regards to them being fat. These girls decided to take their fight to the media, and expose this "Mean, Nasty" server, who treated them badly.
And now these 3 girls can go online, and see MILLIONS of people making fun of them, and calling them fat.
Sad, but this is a FACT!
Would it had been better to just keep this between the server and the 3 girls? I think so.
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
In no way did I intend for this to turn into a fat or a female bashing thread.
Wow.
I'm in no way trying bash women or fat people. I just feel that they were over sensitive to the comment. Certainly they overreacted with the media coverage that ensued.
Honestly it looks like they are just thinking of a lawsuit. After all that is the American Dream.

I agree with you.
And we will soon know all about these ladies backgrounds.
I hope they are all angels, in life.
Look out for what ya ask for!
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
I don't think people should be treated cruelly and I don't think a restaurant employee should have put that name on their ticket.
However, I do think it's a bit unrealistic for these women to behave as if their size is not something that people notice. If people were to be totally straight forward with themselves, they might still be angry that someone was cruel, but they wouldn't believe that it's out of the realm of daily life for people to notice!! :?
You know, I'm a big girl
Quite a big girl
Hell...I'm a fat chick
and I would have been utterly mortified
I might have cried even
Some of us are big and would rather not be so big
Some are happy with it
Some of us just have to accept that maybe this is what we are
There are some underlying things that people don't always know about
and you sure can't see it
All you can see is our size
We are people too
We are NICE people even maybe, at least I think I am
We have feelings
NO ONE should be embarrassed like that merely because of what is on the outside
You have no idea.
OK you can tell me to go on a diet, to get some more exercise, etc. but the thing is, you don't know
No one knows just what is inside another person and what the reason are for some things.
IMHO (and even when I did NOT used to be fat) this is NOT funny, NOT acceptable, NO way, NO how
LESSON TO BE LEARNED: We should ALL treat other people in exactly the same manner that we would like to be treated.
What if you have some acne and your waiter writes Pizza Face on your ticket?
Or you are an amputee and they write Peg Leg
What if you have a deformity of some type and they draw a little doodle of their impression of you on your ticket?
Hmmm?
What then?
Just because this is aimed at FAT PEOPLE, and to top it off, even worse in our society , FAT GIRLS, doesn't make it OK
And to add to that, why is it OK for some guys to have a gut hanging over their belt and its OK but we are chubby and its a taboo? I don't get it.
No I don't like being the size I am. I really don't. I work and work and work at it...not much changes.
This would have been horrible for me.
People need to THINK.
Does anyone ever think?
peace,

i dont think its ok to be rude ,mean,and insolting people..
i get the joke,its an inside joke of people working there but this wasnt proffesional at all
we all judging and gossiping,but when you working you need to be polite to customers and watch out this details
i wouldnt pay the bill if i was one of the girls,i would just leave a note saying
"i never pay a man with small penis..cos he could never satisfied with that small size my fat ass..."
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
i wouldnt pay the bill if i was one of the girls,i would just leave a note saying
"i never pay a man with small penis..cos he could never satisfied with that small size my fat ass..."
That would be illegal. Being rude however is not illegal on the waitress part.
If that's actually a picture of the girls, well... I'd be inclined to say that making them pay the bill is fair.
The fact is, the guy used a "description" to tag the girls in the system - and I don't think anyone here is going to debate that the description is accurate. It's not an insult if the description isn't true.
I'm of the opinion that we coddle everyone and everything way too much in this modern society... to the point where we are actually slowing the process of evolution by going out of our way to protect people from being offended.
I've actually gotten a bill back at a restaurant where I was tagged "young bald guy".... did I kick up a stink and make it to the news? or even mention it to the waiter? Nope... paid my bill and left. Fact is, I'm 28, and within the next year or so they will be using my picture in the medical dictionary to define "cul-de-sac" in relation to male pattern baldness.
If that is actually a picture of the girls, looks to me like they need to be called "fat" a little more, hopefully to the point where they stop eating unheathily and start to look after themselves instead of being a burden on the US's new taxpayer supported healthcare system.
I know that comes off as cruel, but looking at what they ate and their image, it's the truth. Maybe if someone tells them that once or twice it might motivate them to actually try and do something about it... it works for me...
