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."
LOL!
Yo mama so fat she went to the movies and sat next to everyone
IMHO, she is taking the CORRECT action here.
I agree with you and with her. Take your business elsewhere; vote with your wallet. Um, where is the news here?
LOL! I do, however, have a sister with big bones.
A doctor told her that she’d never, ever have oesteoperosis.
It happens.
“Big” could mean tall. anyone know her height?

4'7"
Just teasing, I have no idea.
From the story: "Hodges said it was her 6-year-old son who noticed the slight..."
First she didn't count her change; secondly her 6 y/o found the words on the receipt.
Now you're telling me that she can read and write and do math?
LOL
I work with people like this every day. I'll bet she dropped out of school well before she was 16. ;D
“...she wrote “Big Fat” herself.”
Seems obvious if you scrutinize the note - different hand writing.
I know. I blew it up. The “a” and “B” letters are not consistent. Spacing wrong. Slanting not right. Liar.
Yo mama’s so fat, she had to let out the shower curtain
“I don’t get that part.”

Yo momma’s so fat, when she ran away, they had to use all four sides of the milk carton.
Yo mamma’s so fat her blood type is ‘gravy’!
This story could be false.
I agree with you. The clerk has no manners and should apologize at the very least. It is a matter of decency not politics. If I acted that way with a client, I’d expect to get written up or fired. Maybe if she was being a jerk (and it would be within her rights to be angry at getting short-changed), there might be a mitigating circumstance, but absent that, the clerk is the A-hole here.
ROFLMAO
In the south, her blood type would be “sausage gravy”.
