Public Service Announcement

[shortylickens]

Petite means small.
It does not mean short.
If you're 5'3" and weigh 200 pounds thats your fault. Not the sales girls'. Please dont harass her for 20 minutes because none of the clothes labeled "petite" will fit your fat ass!

To continue:
You are not kewl, badd or tuff simply because you can spend 20 minutes degrading a poor woman whose only sin is she doesnt use Ben & Jerry to solve all her problems.
That woman makes minimum wage or slightly above and has to spend all day watching piggies try on clothes when they should be directing them to the tent department.

Furthermore:
Believe it or not, she also sees more than just one customer a day. Some of them are not able to piss away 20 minutes for each and every store they visit. The salesgirl also has a sworn duty to provide prompt and swift service to every customer that walks through the doors. It is not her sworn duty to "check the back" for every little fantastic whim your damaged brain can come up with. If it doesnt fit your fat ass in yellow, it certainly wont fit in green, blue or red.

END RANT.

No. I am a customer.

For those of you wondering "WTF?":
I have managed to avoid shopping malls for the past one year. If today was any indication of American courtesy, I shall be avoiding them for at least another.

I remember my days in retail. People love the concept of the magical back room, where stores horde all the good products. People like the woman you described are the reason customer service has dwindled to almost nothing. Being polite and helpful often means getting walked on, because people assume it's your job to be a door mat. I'm glad I graduated to cubicle land.

hehe 'tent department,' that alone made this a 9/10.

 

[Wreckem]

Uh, you are wrong in the assumption petite doesnt mean short.

Petite sizing is for women 4'11" to 5'3" size 0 to size 18-20. And a size 18-20 is going to be well over 200lbs...

Actually, I should have told her that. But the chick was going crazy and I didnt want her to sit on me.

And it was in my most recent home of Oregon. All parties involved were white.

I thought leaving the Peoples Republic would get me away from all the ignorant, selfish, mean, blonde bitches. But it has only cut down on the frequency of their encounters. And malls tend to breed such people wherever they are built.


EDIT: Nevermind, you'll probably get your definition from wikpedia.

I'm always polite to the minimum wagerari for that simple fact. They put up with so much crap for almost nothing.

The dictionary and wikipedia can define it however they want. Wreckem is correct. The clothing industry has petite as clothing proportionally designed for a woman 5'4" and under. Slender is not a factor.

Sweet Geebus. 5'3" and 200+ is one heck of a "proportion"

Well, there's petite size, and then there's pumpkin size.

Plus, if you're actually nice to the person you need to help you, there's a pretty good chance they will go the extra mile when you need it. Especially if you show disdain for someone who's just treated them like crap.

They only label the clothes that way to flatter those little fatties...just like the the sizing of all women's clothes... ie., a size 2 pair of jeans does NOT mean it has a 2 inch waistline. it's an artificial number. I don't even know how big a say... size 14 is, but it is definitely not 14 inches... womenz like the lower number. Men don't care so we happily wear the size 46 jeans... women need to grow up!

Hey look! another fat bashing thread! :roll:
