Uhn.!! Excuse me ma'am uhh.. The clothes in your size are not here there are over there and points out at the plus sizes!! Agghh! I was so caught off guard i did t said anything back i just went away and left the store i was so embarrased and coming from a man it was just so ahh... Have no words people have no clue how they are hurting somebody! Just saying!.... :(

I would have had some words for that employee and the manager. That s rude. What if you were jist shopoing for someone else. It really isnt that idiots business. I would have words and then leave an never go back to that store.

What a horrible thing to do to someone! I was just out shopping two weeks ago for my daughter before she left for her dad's for the summer. I felt the same way since I was looking at size 9/10 and large shirts.

I can't stand it when people are so insensitive.

so sorry that happened. But I would have done the same thing....right out of the store!

It doesnt matter who you were shopping for... he should have left you alone! I am sure he's not on commission at Kmart...what's it to him.

Hang in there .... you'll show him!

Definitely an issue to bring up with the manager. If it's a chain store I'd bring it to the corporate office, too. With today's economy no business can afford to lose customers and they would have lost me for sure, along with my friends and family. And I'd definitely perdue the discrimination issue - no business wants to deal with a mess like that. You'd be helping to prevent anyone else to be embarrassed in that way in the future. At the very least that guy needs some retraining and sensitivity training.

K-mart is owned by Sears and they definitely cannot afford crap like that. They have been so close to bankruptcy over the years that they have had to close several stores including K-mart stores. I would write a letter of complaint to Sear's Corporate office, talk with the manager of the store or cc a copy to him.

It's amazing...fat discrimination is still so accepted. Insensitivity abounds and it's really hurtful. I would definitely make management aware.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
