Victorias secret so happy I opened my mouth.

wow I am so up set over this store. I went out to day to get some lotions from the store. While I was there I noticed you could be fit for a bra so I though wow let me go and do this. I picked out one stood in line behind a lady who was about 200 or more in weight.

We were both standing there waiting on this the Lady's who would measure us. A sales lady walked around the lady in front of me and asked me if I wanted to be measured.
I told her yes but this lady was before me. The lady turned around and said it was OK that I could go and I told her no you are next. She smiled and said it is all right I told the lady when you can take care of all the customers the same than I might come back. The manager heard me and wanted to know what was wrong.

Now I am and have never been one to speak my mind but I find now that I have lost weight my tong is free lol. I told her what her sales girl did and said when you can treat all customers the same I might come back. The manager asked the employee if this was true what I said and the girl said yes I did skip the lady in front of the line. the manager said sorry to both of us and told the girl to punch out and go home.

Than I said well thanks but I am leaving now. The lady in front of me put her stuff down and walked out with me and said t hanks for that no one has ever done that for me. She was crying I told her I was once 300 lbs and I know how she felt. She asked me how did I get so thin lol. I told her about my surgery and gave her a card and she said she would call Monday.

I have found I do not let people talk to me like crap anymore and I do not let people talk crap to over weight people. I open my mouth now my husband said I have changed so much but he said it is for the better. I am just paying it forward. I also am finding out when you loose the weight you gain so much confidence I guess I am feeling better about my self now thanks to my surgeon and his talent for the sleeve and thanks for this group.

Good for you!!!

wow!  Way to go.  So proud of you.

Awesome!!!!!  That was a wonderful thing to do, for the other lady, too.  I hope you giving her that card will help her get started  to being empowered like you.  Again, awesome

You go girl . Ive been there once and when the lady walked me to the back of the store and informed me that the LARGER sizes are kept in drawers in the back of the store I was done NEVER AGAIN....

Wow..so sorry that this other lady had to go through this.  But thank goodness you were there and you said something.  I would have done the same thing.  Good for you!!

WOW!  Good for you!  I'm sure you made a huge impact on all the women involved; the salesperson, manager and other customer.  Hopefully the store clerk will change her thinking and start treating all people with the respect they deserve.  You are truly a God Send!

SCORE for women of all sizes!!!!!   WAY TO GO!!!!

There was a debate in the forum (night have been main forum) a few weeks ago, about whether obese people needed to be stood up for. Hope those debaters could read your story. Good for you.

I could not just stand there doing nothing. The sales lady was so wrong and I was so mad my mouth just opened and I told them how I felt. I did not intend on standing up for obese people. But if this person in front of me did not say it was OK to skip her I would not have said a word. I felt so bad for her and how smug the sales lady was.

Feel free to copy and paste my story to the debaters that is OK with me. I was always tough that you never forget where you came from. I still feel 300 lbs on days. I will never forget  how bad I felt at that weight and how many people would talk down to me. If the obese need to be spoken for than I will be more than happy to do this. I know and we all know how they feel.
