QUICK STORY




So I have been talking about this for the last week but my voice is wrecked, and I finally went to Walgreens to buy some throat lozenges. As I get up to the counter to pay the cashier gives he gives me the normal greeting and I say, “What’s up”, in my just finished a carton of cigarettes voice. He then asks me if I want some candy that they are selling. I of course tell them thank you kind sir but I will have to respectfully decline your offer for the candy. He then says, “Come on man you know you like candy” and then just stares at my stomach! I wanted to jump over the counter and show him what my new training would allow me to do, but I just said, “No man I am cool”. Things like this really upset me, because I am pretty sure I am not the only big person that has to deal with things like this on a somewhat daily basis. I understand he is just trying to sell a product, but he does not have to stare at my stomach suggesting I would want it since I am a big guy. Anyways, my lesson today is just don’t expect every big person to agree to candy, some of us don’t want it!
