If you want to be fat, fine, be happy in your eating.

But don’t expect the world to always accommodate you.

You should pay more for your insurance. And your plane tickets.

Only in woke 2019 could “fat woman denied service at nail salon” be considered headline news at Yahoo.

What do you suppose are the odds that we are paying for her rent, utilities, cell phone, health insurance, and food? But she can go to the salon every week for some beauty procedures?

FTA....

....However, the salon did not break any law. Unlike discriminating against a person’s race or gender, which is protected under the law, weight discrimination is not illegal. In fact, in 49 states, it is even legal to terminate an employee for their weight.

Rose Nails did not answer Yahoo Lifestyle’s phone calls to comment on the incident. Yahoo Lifestyle was unable to locate Tina Lewis for comment.....

I took a fast look at the comments at the site, and even on liberal Yahoo, she’s not getting any sympathy — but the salon owner is.

Our family had to bury a member who weighed a great deal. The undertaker told us there is an extra charge for bodies over 350 lbs.

Obviously this woman really cares about her appearance (except for being yuge!) so she must be accommodated and get the pedicure.

How many of those women are getting welfare checks? Inquiring minds want to know if our tax money is funding their maintenance.

Grow, Mrs Goldfarb, fatter, fatter
Pile the potatoes on your platter
Listen to me, 'cause I'm your hubby
I just adore you plump and chubby
I got a letter from the state, dear
You're gonna need a license plate, dear
My little elephant joke come true
Chew, Mrs Goldfarb, chew!

And I was like, "Are you serious? So you’re saying that I'm too big to sit in a chair?'"

She's too big to sit in a sofa.

The real ‘beauty’ of all this is if the salon had offered her a ‘stool’ to sit on so they could accommodate her, she would have had another ‘complaint’ that she was being treated differently.

Remember the old carnival signs

YOU MUST BE THIS TALL TO RIDE THIS RIDE

Maybe that sign should be expanded to put up as sign of size of the chair and make customers back up to the sign and NO overhang, regular prices..

Would work in movie theaters, airlines etc..

Whenever I go into a place and the seats appear to be too narrow, I consider my expanded spread and let it go.

I remember back around the turn of the century (WHO among us believed we would make that statement AND ‘ridiculed’ those ‘Old Fartz’ that did some 60 years ago) I went aboard a Navy ship and noticed the only real change, other than fancier enlisted quarters, was

The ladders were steeper and the passageways were narrower, the hatches taller & narrower.....

“Someone needs to go down there and let them know that if they do have [weight] requirements, that they need to be posted on the door,” Lewis said.

As if she wouldn’t have a problem with that. Maybe install a turnstile you have to fit through to get to the chairs — must be this not-fat to get a pedicure.

Years ago my brother in law had a morbidly obese fat friend. One night he stopped by for a visit. When he sat on the couch the couch busted at one end. Snapped two legs right off. They would go to the Chinese Buffet and ultimately after eating and eating they would throw him out. He would refuse to leave and the cops were called. Happened more than once.

She should go get her nails clipped at a large-animal vet.

Salon chairs have weight limits.

A bariatric chair, one that will safely seat a morbidly obese client, can cost a lot more money.

The salon might not be able to afford the cost.
