You cannot tell the state of a person's health based on their size. There are healthy heavy people and unhealthy slim people.

Maybe it's because of a medical problem. You don't know. Right?

Do you really think they don't know? As I said to another idiot, I am a former fat person with many health issues.....the abuse I recieved at the hands of people like you, still makes me cringe.....You are the one who should be ashamed.

This is not professional. No matter under what circumstances..We all should have some respects for others.

As the "golden rule..."do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

Is the store there for clothing purpose or weight loss purpose! People should mind their own business and life for everyone will be much better and easier!

If I was a random customer in a clothing store, I wouldn't involve myself. If an employee of mine was doing something like that, I would reprimand them. It's unprofessional.

I agree , it is the policy of the store to have its sales associates be respectful of the customers. but it is not the business of other randoms in the store to butt in on others conversations. have a great weekend !!!! mj dallas,tx

Definitely...

Now, if she's overweight trying to wear something that doesn't fit right AND she asked for an honest opinion... Different story...

If she asked for an opinion, but didn't like the answer, well... that's a tough spot...
