    Was bored, came across this story

    To summarise

    big lady goes into underwear store, holds up some pants. Assistant asks if she is aware of sizing policy…shopper takes offence

    Why is this news? (and to be fair why am I posting about it)

    Dunno, but I thought this was about tyres..

    Perhaps spare ones.

    Because you are semi-consciously bothered by our society’s descent into hypersensitivity, and tendency to misidentify our ontological reality with superficial traits. 😉

    Still stands though, if you squint and read it quickly whilst slugging back a solid measure of whiskey..

    I clicked on the link, guess what happened next.

    Imagine what could have happened if someone who can’t differentiate between news and click bait had also followed the link.

    descent into self-loathing and compensatory purchase of sequined thongs ?

    You do realise that “Indy100” runs on the clickbait revenue moel i.e. post some outrageous story about someone being offended in the hope that people click on the story and generate revenue streams from advertisers for the Indy.

    “Some poor Singletrack reader clicked on a clickbait link and YOU’LL NEVER GUESS WHAT HAPPENED NEXT….”

    Edit: MSP beat me to it 😆

    Reading the company’s response, good job they are trying to “reach out” rather than around.

    Sorry but am I right in saying this story is about a fat woman having an interaction with a cheeky shop assistant?

    well what is the sizing policy? 😕

    Probably a shop assistant trying to be helpful, making sure the shopper found the right size for them.

    Nobody compains about the “plus size” shops not supplying their products for skinny people.

    Abbie Walsh-Greenfield got the ultimate revenge on a shop when she felt excluded for her size.

    What did she do, sit on them?

    Probably a shop assistant trying to be helpful, making sure the shopper found the right size for them understood the brand didn’t want people of “off brand” body size wearing their wares.

    Lots of brands do it

    Maybe they had to walk round to reach out.
