Yeah, being fat shouldn't be a qualifier for anything IMHO. Like, let people live their lives in peace! There are pleasant and unpleasant fat people, as there are thin, so why does weight have to do with anything?! It is baffling to me we have to work so hard to humanize fat persons. Fat bias is so ingrained in our culture people think is ok.

Some of the fat people I've worked with were so much more hard working than others. But on other hand some customers I've dealt with were the worst customers. There was a notorious mother daughter duo that my co workers labeled the "Thunder Cunts". The sad part is they had kids that probably.lived a life of hell.

Yeah, child abuse is no joke. I bet you also had non fat customers who were a pain in the ass too, so it is not about weight, but about being an insufferable tw4twaffle.

Yeah I worked in a really shitty area. It was heartbreaking seeing how shitty people were.

Oh I feel for you. It is never easy to witness some stuff.
