SACRAMENTO, CA - Helen Hodges understood the need for a gas station clerk to write her identifying information on a sales receipt. She just wishes he had chosen a different phrase.
"It says 'black lady,' and I can understand that because I am a black lady," Hodges told News10. "But I don't get 'big fat.' I don't get that part."
Hodges, 31, said the offensive incident happened Thursday night after she was shorted $10 in a gas pump mix-up at a station on Marconi Avenue near the Capital City Freeway. When she returned to the station for a refund, a $10 bill was attached to a receipt with a handwritten notation "black lady big fat."
Hodges said it was her 6-year-old son who noticed the slight, which hurt even more. She tried contacting the manager, but is still waiting for an apology.
"The lesson they should learn is my money helps run that store," Hodges said. "And I won't be going back."
Yo momma so fat her head and ass have different zip codes.
1. The attendant is an idiot
2. The woman is in denial about her weight
This is uncivil and rude. But...when you have the health nazis and watermelons teaming up to debase fat people like they have done to smokers...she better get used to it. I knew the fatties would be next.
Yo momma’s so fat, she was born with a silver shovel in her mouth.
I cannot imagine that anybody would do such a thing! If the facts are as this article reports them, this is absolutely inexcusable. I don’t blame her for being angry. What could be more unprofessional, infuriating, unpardonable—unnecessary(!)—and downright mean???
Cripes, she oughta be thankful for the compliment.
He called her a “lady”.
Personally, I probably would have used something more like “hippo”...
Would it have been less offensive to have written out 20 pages of politically correct nonsense enumerating every self identified, and self indulged in stereotypical euphemism people publish their every life grievance with, just to skirt plain English?
That’s a new one...nice!!
Assuming that the facts are as reported in this article, to anybody who thinks this is cute, clever, amusing, or in any way appropriate—this is where you and I part company—BIGTIME!
? What does that have to do with my post?
can’t resist
yo’ momma’s so fat, she cut herself shaving and marshmallows popped out!
For me, the funniest part of this is that she went running to the news station to complain about it. What does she really think people will take away from this story - that nobody should patronize that gas station, or that she’s big and fat?
He’s a clerk at a gas station. More likely than not, he’s a local young man who is not attending Harvard, or he’s a foreign born entrepreneur. Thus, he probably doesn’t know the word “obese”.
Mmmmm, bacon!
I think I have seen her on TV a bunch of time: “he was always such a nice boy......”
Your momma’s so fat that when God said let there be light, he asked her to move.
EXcellent description and on point.
