I am a vendor for grocery stores so I see this all day every day. Pisses me off so much. What pisses me off even more is people who are not even fat that take them. Just lazy. One time I saw two kids riding it around while their mother (or maybe older sister) did her shopping. I almost lost it that time. Before this job I used to see the same fat ass at my local grocery riding around. Only thing I ever saw in his basket, frozen pizza, ice cream, and beer. I finally said told him one day to eat some damn vegetables and maybe one day he could get his ass out of the cart, he was not happy, especially as all the cashiers were having to hold in their laughter. And don't give me any crap about sympathy. I used to be over 300 pounds, but I never rode a cart, or went out of my way to take an elevator rather than stairs. You can be fat (I am a glutton, I admit it) and not be lazy. Honestly you should have been fired. It is not your place to insult and tell a customer what to do. From what you said you attacked this man for no real reason and if you can't control your mouth better than that, I don't see you holding jobs for very long. Sorry. I think you misread his post. Unless I'm mistaken, he got into it with this dude before he became employed at that place (assuming the store he's talking about in his second paragraph is even one of the same stores he speaks of in the first paragraph).

Say what you want, I still have a predilection towards disliking fat people. Stay out of the frozen pizza aisle and grab yourself a celery stick.

Four pages? Sick. Good to know it's not just me seeing these people. They're always toting pop, chips, cookies, pizza rolls and shit. (LOL when diet pop. Yeah Tubbs, THAT'S gonna be what'll turn this whole thing around for you)

How 'bout those fat guys in little coats?
Aren't they just a sight to behold?

At Disneyworld there's tons of them, and they always skip the ride lines, get to the front, and then walk onto the ride. I sure am glad to witness these miracles whenever I go on holiday. There is a whole range of disability. Just because somebody can't spend most of the day on their feet doesn't mean they're completely incapable of walking. Fair enough. Doesn't mean they're entitled to skip the line though, I know for a fact that some people take buggies to the parks for just that. Also, I am shocked and appalled that nobody has cliche'd in with the "obesity is a disease" catchphrase yet.

But celery sticks are disgusting and taste like crunchy cold ass. I shouldn't have to eat crunchy cold ass for the rest of my life just to be accepted by society.

Also, Citten, you're making more sense in this thread than I would ever expect to find online. Yep. I know somebody who was once berated by an employee of a store for using the handicapped stall in a restroom because she wasn't in a wheelchair. She, however, had severe joint problems and can't sit or stand without using something like a handrail, which only the handicapped stalls have. Just goes to show why you can't just make assumptions and yell at people about them. I know if anybody ever tried that with me, they'd get a massive talking-to, since I also sometimes need the handrail to use a toilet sometimes, depending on how bad my pain is on that particular day. And if an EMPLOYEE tried that with me, ohohohohooooo... I don't like to use handicapped stalls, but often I find it's the only one where someone hasn't just done their business - both numbers 1 & 2 - haphazardly all over the toilet seat. Sometimes you've just gotta go when you've gotta go.

I did once see two eldery people race the carts down the highstreet, that made me chuckle.

We'll see who's laughing after I run your ass over and then drag your twisted corpse down the frozen foods aisle to get some Hot Pockets.

Work in two hours. Time to go look at those....things. If I'm up on a soapbox, it's only to avoid being in biting range, were one of them to confuse my leg for a pork hock. I hope gravy's not on sale.

There's this lady at the supermarket I work at who uses one, but then parks it outside the store and walks around to do her shopping.
I mean, I'm guessing she just has a long distance to travel or something, but is a car out of the question? We do home delivery too...

Sometimes you've just gotta go when you've gotta go. I love handicapped stalls. More room, something to grab onto if it's more solid than normal, and usually less graffiti for some reason. I don't understand being upset over using a handicapped stall. If no one is waiting while you do your business, there is nothing lost by anyone using an empty toilet stall. If a handicapped person doesn't need it, it's just a double-wide stall.
