GASTONIA, N.C. - An employee at a North Carolina Wendy’s who called a customer “Chubby” on a receipt has been fired.
Officials with the Carolina Restaurant Group Inc. apologized to customer Jimmy Shue and fired the employee, who has not been identified.
Shue went to the restaurant earlier this month and ordered two sandwiches. He said he provided his name “clear as day.” However, he noticed the name “Chubby” was written on the receipt.
Another employee called out the name on the receipt when the order was ready, prompting laughter from people dining at the restaurant.

“Jimmy”, “Chubby”, “Michelin Man”. Yeah, whatever.
I don’t like giving my name when asked so I always say “#1” when they ask.
Will the CEO go on national TV and do a mea culpa, beating his breast and begging for forgiveness? Will he close the store for one day for fat-reeducation seminars?
No. National shame applies only to certain victim groups: black, m*slim, gay or dickchopping.
Or "Chubby" Chaney of "Our Gang".
Hehe...yeah. Or...maybe he’s just ‘big boned’.
Hilarity ensued when five different customers came up to the counter to claim the order.
Robot food servers will never do this.
It’s hard for me to imagine someone looking back from the year 2050 and think to themselves that the rise of the 24 hour news cycle and social media was this really great thing for culture and society.
I bet the employee probably did this all the time, he finally did it to the wrong behemoth. Now everyone who reads about him and sees a picture will also think he is obese. I wonder if he was the one who told the story on social media or what.

These restaurants are noisy places and she probably just misunderstood what he said when she asked his name. I’m betting it was an innocent mistake. Lots of people have nicknames about their physical characteristics - Slim, Shorty, Long, Fats. Hearing “Chubby” is natural.
Hey! That’s “Chubsy-Wubsy?”
Reminds me of a Cheers episode:
Coach took a call from Melvilles, the restaurant upstairs, and was told to let the Andersons know their table was ready. When two couples, one normal sized and one where both people were severely overweight, came to the bar, Coach said into the phone ‘there are two Anderson couples here’. He waited a few seconds and then said ‘I’m sorry, I was wrong’. Then shouted out ‘TABLE FOR THE BLUBBERBUTTS’. Insensitive, but it was very funny back in the day.
Ha! Whatever happened to the term "husky"? I remember when that was actually a children's clothing size. There were the ordinary guys in school, and then there were usually a couple of "husky" kids too.
The fast food clerk should have written "husky" on the receipt instead of "chubby".
If the Shue fits, wear it.
Chubby- a polite way of saying FAT!
JATO or RATO assistance might be needed.
“Now everyone who reads about him and sees a picture will also think he is obese.”
Yeah, because nobody who saw a picture of him before this story would ever think that.
That’s one eagle that ain’t gonna fly.
Many more are looking at him because of this story, unless he was famous or something. And going ‘oh yeah, way beyond chubby.’ I wonder if he turned it into the news or what.
