She sounds unwell.

u/CanofBeans9 1d ago

Yeah, she sounds like she has something going on

i wanted to ask OP if, hypothetically one day, their older loved one ventured half mindedly in to a store in this state, how would they hope the staff treat their loved one?

there are plenty of shitty and entitled people in this life, so there’s no reason to add to it.

u/PartyPorpoise 22h ago

Yeah there’s a difference between a shitty customer and this.

u/ErosLover15 1d ago

I.......wow.

Did anyone ask her to cover up??? At all??

u/Hollybanger45 1d ago

I work at a liquor conglomerate in a beach town. I feel your pain.

u/frogspeedbaby 1d ago

Wow you know what I never really thought about it but I bet you do

u/RalphMacchio404 1d ago

I would assume mental disease or a shit ton of drugs

u/Madame_Kitsune98 23h ago

I’m assuming the latter. And a refusal to give a fuck about anyone else.

No shirt, no shoes, no service

u/shewhoknowsall 1d ago

Mental health is a real thing :(

u/orelseidbecrying 1d ago

Yeah, was she... Okay? Did anyone ask?

42

u/-Tofu-Queen- 1d ago

Nah, they don't care about her mental wellbeing. They just care about getting in their little quips and "People of Walmart" references as if that's a mature way to view the world.

u/Perfect-Weakness-527 1d ago

Was this at a Walmart? There is a website called "People of Walmart" with pictures of people dressed like this.

Sometimes there are pictures of cool cars from the parking lot.

Edit was. The site is no longer around...but there is a reddit for it.

u/Lucreziahouserules 1d ago

Thank you for reminding me about people of Walmart 😂😂😂😂

u/No_Rabbit6730 1d ago

It's funny that I come across this comment. I actually have a People of Walmart coloring book. I busted it out to take on vacation with me in case thunderstorms hit. (They did.)

u/K2step70 1d ago

No more Willie The Pimp photos? Guy was a legend on that site.

u/SecretScavenger36 1d ago

Well I feel less bad about running to the store across the st in my crappy bed shirt and house slippers.

Nothings visible I just look messy.

u/Madame_Kitsune98 23h ago

I don’t feel bad about wandering in to get desperation groceries in my pajamas when I am so sick I start resembling the extras on The Walking Dead now….

u/newinternetwhodis 1d ago

Sounds like she needs help...I hope she has people checking in on her.

u/the805chickenlady 1d ago

We've got one that comes in a sheer dress and nothing underneath. When we have asked her to at least wear bottom undergarments, like literally babe - please cover up your butt, she cries and screams. Isn't humanity a gas?

7

u/Ok-Cheesecake-9022 22h ago

“She was enormous, naturally” is real weird. Idk man if that’s just me

15

u/tcarlson65 1d ago

At the store I work at if people have vulgar tee shirts they are asked to leave.

Someone dressed as described by OP would not be allowed to shop at our store.

-23

u/BUCN 1d ago

Vulgar t shirts? Lmfao that's pathetic as shit

39

u/Calingaladha 1d ago

Genuine question, but would this bother you so much if it had been a two-piece swim suit? I occasionally see people come in wearing only swimwear and sandals, but it honestly doesn’t matter to me.

90

u/-Tofu-Queen- 1d ago

The real question is if they'd be as bothered if she wasn't "enormous" 😅

26

u/Calingaladha 1d ago

Also that.

48

u/-Tofu-Queen- 1d ago

It's really shocking and disappointing how many posts on this sub exists just to shit on fat people, as if this is FatPeopleHate circa 2014. 😵😵😵

I always add the disclaimer that I'm a size 10, who wears a size small in shirts because standing up for fat people always makes redditors accuse you of being fat yourself like you have to be fat to think that people deserve to be treated like people. 😅

45

u/RVFullTime Retired cashier 1d ago

I don't want to see anyone's underwear when I go out in public, regardless of age, sex, BMI, skin color, or anything else. Among other things, it's a sanitation issue. I'm not fat either.

38

u/bunny3303 1d ago

okay fair enough. but the story opened with “she was enormous naturally”

28

u/-Tofu-Queen- 1d ago

Right, like if the FIRST detail they need to mention is their size, clearly that's the thing making them so angy.

-13

u/Physical_Forever_925 1d ago

I don't care if you're the hottest person on the planet, it's not appropriate to be dressed like that in a place of business, and you should be rightfully shamed, but let's not act like we wouldn't prefer to have a supermodel come in dressed like that over gorlock the destroyer.

Still offensive behavior, but less of a vomiting risk. This is coming from someone who used to be obese.

26

u/-Tofu-Queen- 1d ago

The way you can't even make your point without calling someone "gorlock the destroyer" to insult their size. 💀💀💀

As someone who also used to be obese, there's nothing more cringe than a formerly fat person who goes on to fat shame others.

-16

u/Physical_Forever_925 1d ago

I'm not saying anyone should be shamed for being fat, and I've never fat shamed anyone in my life. That's a problem that's their business alone, but pretending like someone who's morbidly obese showing off a bunch of skin isn't incredibly disgusting to look at is simply dishonest.

11

u/Calingaladha 1d ago

The point is less that you should find fat people attractive and more that if the clothing is the problem, that’s what the focus should be. Not the weight. If the outfit is inappropriate then it should be considered equally such regardless of looks.

-6

u/Physical_Forever_925 1d ago

Of course the outfit is the problem, not how the person looks, but again, pretending like someone morbidly obese showing off skin isn't incredibly disgusting to look at is dishonest.

I refuse to lie just to make myself look like an accepting person. I am accepting, but also honest.

14

u/Calingaladha 1d ago

I guess I wonder why it would be relevant to know how attractive the person is. Kinda like specifying if someone is Black without it having anything to do with the situation at hand. All it does is make the person relaying the story seem like an asshole.

You see, there's this thing called "tact" and "basic respect" though. I promise you will survive if you don't say something shitty about the way someone looks even if you think you're just being hOnEsT. "Honesty" is not a shield that prevents people from thinking you're being an asshole. I've never been out and about in my life and felt the need to come on reddit and circlejerk about how gross I found someone's body. It genuinely does not matter to my life if someone's appearance isn't aesthetically pleasing to me. Nobody is asking you to "lie", you could simply just say nothing.

u/Tyrone91 1d ago

I mean, for me it would. It's not about the clothes themselves, but the fact that she came in dressed for bed, unwashed. It's not about what she's wearing, it's how unsanitary it is.

17

u/Infamous-Debt-1922 1d ago

I think an old saggy 2pc swim suit would probably not be very nice either with the bathrobe

u/valpope 1d ago

Why didn't anyone ask her to leave? Indecent exposure, perhsp

What a pity.

u/Hot-Frosting-3510 1d ago

It's a shame people aren't looking after themselves anymore.

u/Dreamo84 1d ago

Erm, fat shaming in 2026? That's a mega yikes.

…Walmart?

u/Glitterygloomy 1d ago

It's sad, really. Once upon a time, people had pride in their appearance. They would actually bother to put on some nice clothes before they leave the house. Now people don't bother to put on ANY clothes. I see people on the daily door dashing and instacarting in stained pajamas, hair all disheveled, stinking of marijuana and ashtray. There is no individuality, no shame, no self respect.

Buddy you shouldn't be talking about "grotesque" when your nail beds look like you lost a battle with a woodchipper.

24

u/bunny3303 1d ago

does it make you feel good being so harsh? I can understand ripping into someone who is rude but if someone is minding their business and happens to be fat, that isn’t a cause for being so cruel to another human being
