Today, I went into Whole Foods asking if they carried a supplement called Carnosine. The girl assisting me had no idea what it was, but asked, "Is this for weight loss?" FML

Well it seems like she wasn't trying to be mean, but she shouldn't assume. Maybe alot of people come in for weight loss pills?

I'm sure any supplement named after Carnie Wilson has to do with weight loss. Don't worry, I think your body is beautiful ;)

Okay that's not that bad, naturally if someone doesn't know a supplement they're going to assume its for weight loss, since this is what our society is so focused on. So this is not a knock on OP the clerk was merely asking a question trying to help OP find her supplement.

But you do have to know where it is in order to help your customers.

To be fair that could easily be confused with Carnitine to somebody... Just because she works at a store doesn't mean they know every product in there, you have to learn as you go. Hell I work in a pharmacy and new things are brought in so often I don't see them until someone asks "Hey do you have VitaMints?" and I'm like "huh?"

After all the responses here, nobody has actually asked what Carnosine is? I feel lonely...

Expect it's not a supplement..... I assume OP is talking about carnitine or carnitor, which actually exisist.

You can't blame her, she didn't know.

I think everyone is missing the point... The OP wasn't saying that the girl was stupid for saying that, but that she suggested that OP wants to take weight loss pills.

The clerk asking inferred that OP could use a little weight loss. OP is located in Austria, and in Europe they have a very different outlook on overweight people than in the US. Sounds to me like OP deserved it and should have expected inquiries like that one from someone who has no idea what the supplement was used for. In my experience its not considered as taboo in Europe to point out when someone is fat. Being thin myself I've never had the comments directed towards me, but I work in London a lot and I hear others remark often.

FYI, it's implied, not inferred. OP inferred that the clerk was implying he needed to lose weight.
