Should Have Exercised Some Restraint
RETAIL | WORKING | JUNE 22, 2016
(I’m overweight and have been trying to lose some. I’ve already started, thanks to diet and exercise, and go to the health food store to see about getting something to boost it before meeting a friend for lunch. Being a small store there’s only a new employee there and he’s clearly chatting up a rather attractive girl. I go up to him after about 10 minutes.)
Me: “Excuse me? Sorry to interrupt but I’m looking for something to help with weight loss. Can you recommend something?”
Employee: “How about you stop eating and go exercise instead?”
(He looked at the girl, clearly expecting a laugh, but she looked disgusted and left. He was even more horrified when the manager appeared without me even asking. He doesn’t work there anymore.)
