Fat chicks have Feelings too!

I get so sick and tired of going shopping and being treated like a leper in the 1950's. It seems that more people tend to make a path away from you, rather than stepping forward and being kind. This especially goes to clerks in the electronic departments and I mean at every store I have been to. I know, usually, what I want when I go to the electronics section of a store and there are always three to six people that are employed by the store, standing around. Went to Best Buy last weekend and there were actually six employees standing behind the little counter in the computer section of the store. Two were busy, it looked like training, but the other four were just standing there. So Tata and I are standing there and standing there and standing there. I was getting upset and started mumbling under my breath. That was until a young man approached the counter and one of the four that had been standing around, came forward to help the young man. I actually mumbled under my breath, “What am I, chopped liver?” I started get more and more vocal, until I finally walked away. So then Tata and I went to look at computers and I would have bought one, but….. Tata and I are standing in front of a computer, a Best Buy employee was on my left, he did not acknowledge us. When a man stepped up on my right to look at a computer, he pushed away from his stance and asked the guy if he needed help. I immediately walked away, saying that was their loss, cuz I would have bought a computer.


So our next stop was Walmart in Mtn. Home. Again, in the electronic department we were ignored until Tata went to get help. This store is notorious for ignoring me. I actually one time, almost broke down into tears because they so blatantly ignored me while I patiently waited. There was a young man that worked there, that I actually watched how he would avoid me at all costs. I have bought thousands of dollars worth of electronics from this store, being it is the closest to my home. Now that I have a new car, it won’t be that way anymore. Tata wondered at one point why they don’t have people in fat suits with cameras to see this behavior. It truly is appalling the treatment that I receive and I am nothing but kind with people in the service business, because I know that is a hard job. But I don’t believe they should have jobs, if they don’t want to do them; and helping me or someone else in my condition is a part of their job.

Feel my blood pressure going up, so I am going to sign off.

Love you
