By first time at McDonald's in months... - 27/03/2013 05:04 - United States

Today, I was at McDonald's. As I left the counter with the food, I heard the cashier mutter, "Fat ass." I turned around and demanded to see the manager. Once he came and heard the situation, he looked at me and said, "Well, it's not like he's wrong, right?" FML

I think it was the 4 Big Macs, 3 large fries, 8 apple pies, and 2 ice creams that tipped them off. Oh, and the Diet Coke.

No matter how big OP’s order really was and no matter whether OP is obese or not, the comments by the cashier and his manager were simply unprofessional.

The comments in this thread have hit me so hard, I'm overweight, not morbidly so, but I still hate I myself. I often eat the food from McDonald's but will get coffee from there, even though I'm not ordering a big mac or whatever I still feel like I shouldn't be in there, because I think the people working there must think what the worker did with the op. Now I know for sure that they do, as do most people I meet. I wonder what they must think of me, can't be worse than what I say to myself, that I'll avoid conversations because I think I'm too disgusting to look at. I guess the thing I struggle most with is what happens in the mean time, between being overweight and getting to the size I want to be? No one will look at me and think that I walked 6kms that morning or that I did weights for an hour. That's what often hurts the most, that people still see me as fat, not realising that I am working out and eating healthy everyday, but I can't lose it all in one day, so there's going to be that in between time. Maybe that's something to think about when you judge someone who is overweight, maybe they did two hours of exercise that morning, and are still in the middle of their journey. Maybe they are having McDonald's because they've allowed themselves a weekly treat? (even though using food as a reward isn't great), I don't know, I can say all these encouraging things, but I still think I'm hideous, I wish I could be stronger.

First, nowhere near everyone will be thinking terrible things about you -- some will, sure, but frankly, that says more about them than it does about you (and people that think such things about heavy people are probably thinking nasty judgmental thoughts about people for other reasons, too, even if they're stick thin). If you're feeling so bad about yourself that you're not comfortable conversing with people, please consider talking to a counselor. What you're doing and thinking matters more than what others may be thinking. Hang in there. Do your research, talk with your doctor about a good weight-loss plan and pace for you, get a referral to a nutritionist (even if you already know a lot, they can help you come up with good specific meals, options, and alternatives) and/or to an exercise therapist or trainer, and keep up with your exercise. Building new, healthy habits and sticking with them is important if you want to lose weight. My brother lost over 120 lbs and has kept it off for a couple of years now; he's even running half marathons.

So? That doesn't justify the cashier saying that about you. You should file a complaint to McDonald's corporate and get both the manager and cashier fired

Definitely contact corporate. That is completely inappropriate. I mean, I'll admit, I'll sometimes mutter under my breath after a customer (inaudibly), but that's when they're rude and inconsiderate, NOT because of their weight or appearance.

That's bull!! It doesn't matter what your size is, or how much food you order! You're the customer, YOU pay their salary, and there is absolutely NO good reason for them to publicly insult you like that. Go to corporate. Get the manager's name and the employee's name, write to corporate, and request they take action. If they don't, threaten to sue. Even if you can't or don't want to, they're tired of bad press.
