Sometimes you couldn't imagine if such things happen . The Mum was brutally body-shamed when returning jeans as the shop cashier told her to 'lose weight'
However, one mum claims to have been left flabbergasted when a cashier seemed to care about her size, and she took to Mumsnet to ask whether she'd be unreasonable to complain about the staff member.
She explained that she needed to return some jeans to a 'well-known supermarket' as they were too small.
On the forum, she wrote: "I smiled, handed them over to the cashier and said: "Could I please have a refund on these, unfortunately, they don't fit."
"She took them, laughed and said: "You should lose weight then."
"I kind of giggled in embarrassment and got away as quickly as I could. I was very, very upset and had an awful weekend. I have borderline personality disorder so I don't know if my reaction was a normal one, because I don't always have 'normal' reactions.
"I'm 42, size 20, struggling with an autoimmune issue (which the doctors can't pin down) and I'm menopausal. I am TRYING to lose weight but it's just not happening at the moment. Her comment broke me.
"My friends are encouraging me to make a formal complaint. What do you lot think?
People jumped to the woman's defence, commenting on how inappropriate it was for the cashier to make such a comment.
