Today, I went to my local Walmart to grab a few groceries, and while at the checkout line I grabbed two chocolate bars for a snack. The cashier gave me a look and mumbled under her breath, "Surprise, surprise." I'm pregnant, asshole. FML

Your life doesn't suck. HER life sucks, on account of her being a total bitch.

I don't think that cashier realizes just how close she was to being killed on the spot.

Couldn't she get in trouble or fired for saying something like that to a customer? That's just downright bitchy.

Yeah, I think I would have reported her to a manager. She has no right to judge you whether you're pregnant or not.

Well I would say report her to her manager, but I think having to work at walmart would be the worst punishment you could inflict on her.

Did she even think those chocolate bars might not be for you.... Some people need a reality check

Sometimes people are so rude, but it seems to especially show when they have no idea of what the circumstance is :

Wow what an idiot. Since it was a Walmart cashier it was probably some scumbag from my generation so I'm not too surprised really, FYL OP just ignore the dumbass.

Having never met you, I don't know if this is the case with you, but too many women use pregnancy as an excuse to gain uncontrolled amounts of weight. Drs recommend a woman only gain 15-20 lbs, and if she was obese before pregnancy that she gain NO weight. If you happen to be one of these women, YDI

Conquerer57: ur an ass. the only way a pregnant woman could gain no weight is if she lost enough weight continually to cancel out the weight gain. Sorry OP sounds like another friendly Walmart worker. Congrats on the baby

And btw, 15-20 isn't an accurate average. Typical gain is about 1 lb a week during pregnancy, and we (I say we because I'm 34 weeks) don't use it as an excuse to eat whatever and gain unrestricted amounts of weight. It's normal to be hungrier because we're making a person. I'm 190 where before I was 145 and my OB says I'm right on target.

Sorry all, but conquerer is mostly correct. While it is implausible to expect a preggo not gain any weight, the recommendations for weight gain are drastically reduced, though not completely eliminated when the mother is already obese. Still, a pregnant woman can have a chocolate bar when she wants. Hopefully it is within reason, but I wouldn't get between them.

Between the larger breast, a 7-8 lb baby, 2 lb placenta, water weight ect. 20lbs is pretty much a close to impossible goal for most women. Besides, the recommended amount of weight you should gain is determined on how much you weighed before the pregnancy. Obese people should gain less and vise-versa for thinner women. If you're a healthy weight before than 20-30 lbs is far more realistic

Ah, the views of most likely a man. Regardless of what you've read, every woman is different. I was REALLY good about what I ate, but I still gained 35 lbs. There is way more to it than just what you eat, so lay off the judgements.

Ok ok, I was off on my measurements, but I stand by what I said. These are the guidelines: Underweight: Gain 28-40 pounds Normal weight: Gain 25-35 pounds; Overweight: Gain 15-25 pounds; Obese: Gain 11-20 pounds. And I am a woman who has children. If this woman is using pregnancy to eat anything, YD

The fact is, you don't know. And either way its rude to comment on a stranger's personal appearance. Doubt you would have appreciated weight comments during or after your pregnancies, obese or not.

How about just don’t be a ******* dick?

You should complain to her manager she had no right to say anything like that and was just being a snarky bitch. If you're gonna say shit about customers you shouldn't work customer service especially if you're pretty much gonna say it to their face.
