What A Diabeetus
Pharmacy | Right | May 19, 2017
(I am talking to a regular customer, who is looking to lose some weight before her wedding, about a fitness professional I follow on YouTube who posts workouts and meal plans for free to help people. There is a customer next to me who is being helped by my coworker.)
Customer
#2 : *to me and [Customer
#1 ]* “Are you calling her fat?”
Me: *startled* “No, I am not. We’re just talking about fitness and—”
Customer
#2 : “You should love your body. Don’t go telling her to change it to fit YOUR standards!”
Me: “I’m not telling her to—”
Customer
#2 : *to [Customer
#1 ]* “Don’t you love yourself?”
Customer
#1 : “I do; I do. I just want to lose five pounds before my wedding.”
Customer
#2 : “No! That’s the media talking! You’re being brainwashed.”
Customer: “No, it’s my doctor talking. I’m all for body positivity but a health professional is telling me to lose weight.”
Customer
#2 : “When you die from diabetes, don’t come looking for help then!”
Customer
#1 : “I couldn’t because I’d be hypothetically dead.”
(Customer
#2 sputtered and walked out without her change.)
