As a people are we too sensitive today? In the United States I
think the answer is, YES. Too many citizens here fell that having their
feelings hurt equals a violation of their rights. Some here attempt to
sue because of hurt feelings, as in the case of three the "fat girls" of
California. Christina Huerta, Isabel Robles and Christine Duran say
they were cruelly picked on about their weight after enjoying a quick
bite during a (fat) girls night out. It seems their check at "Chilly
D's" restaurant located at a Cameo Club Casino in California was brought
with the waiter's designation 'Fat Girls". He stupidly typed it on the
check to help remember to whom hand the check.
Here is a more detailed explanation

Well, as you can see they are fat......very fat. There is not a thing wrong with being fat, and one would think that three heavyweights like those would not be traumatized by the bad mannered waiter. I am sure it isn't the first time a rude person mentioned their weight. The girls were initially offered only 25% percent off on their meal by the eatery's manager, but ended up with a comped meal after a dispute. So they got to eat free and got an apology. But the three are not happy and are considering suing over "hurt feelings"? My goodness, if we sued every instance when our feelings were hurt we would spend 24 hours a day in court. Too, our speech might be dramatically shortened and guarded, for hurt feelings from speech is as common as blue skies and laughter. It seems to me those three should understand that if they don't want to be called fat, then they might take a more logical position and lose weight to stop the few people who are awkward enough to say it. It was indeed rude of the waiter to write that on the check, and he has been suspended by the restaurant for doing it. That's enough punishment for labeling them what they are..... fat. But the three fat women say that no number of apologies will erase the "difficult memory" of reading "Fat Girls" on the check. "They can't ever change it," Robles said. "This is something that we got to live with – all three of us."
My oh my.....how easily they seem to be traumatized. Hmmmmmmmmmmm My doctor told me recently that I was getting too fat. "You need to lose weight, she said". I agreed with her and can't imagine suing her or anyone for pointing out the obvious. If those three fat girls wanted to join the military they would be told, "No. You are too fat." They also wouldn't be allowed to work at Hooters, to be horse jockeys, to be the top girl on the cheer leading pyramid and on and on. Being fat is not a negative, and a fat person should expect that he or she might be singled out because of his or her fat condition. It was thoughtless by the waiter.
Being fat doesn't carry a negative connotation about the worth of a person. It is just a condition of varied reasons of excess weight some carry. Yes, the waiter was unkind and thoughtless. But that's it. We all have flaws in appearance, character, intellect etc. It should not be shocking if clue less, unkind people point them out. Being human requires we understand that. The waiter didn't cause any real injury to the three nor say anything untrue, and if those three sue the restaurant I think they have a "fat chance" of only embarrassing themselves.
