Weight Gain Equals Job Loss

(I have always been on the small side. At this time I had just gotten over the flu, and so I was a bit skinnier than I normally am. I was really craving a chicken sandwich, so I decided to get one.)

Me: “Can I get a chicken sandwich with no lettuce and no mayo, but add tomatoes? And a small diet coke.”

Worker: “No.”

Me: “Sorry?”

Worker: “I’ll get you a large regular coke and a cheeseburger, because you need to gain weight, anorexic freak.”
