Fat yells at me at a Smoothie Bar (Long time lurker, first time poster!) So today I went on a little trip to my favourite shopping mall to pick up a few bits and pieces and just generally spoil myself a little with some alone time as I haven't been feeling so good lately. As my username suggests, I'm in recovery from a pretty shitty eating disorder, so shopping can often end up pretty not fun, but today was really lovely and I bought the nicest pair of shorts (a big deal!!!) and some cute stationery!  I then decided to get my favourite watermelon juice from a juice bar as a special and safe treat before heading home (yay for recovery wins!!). While I was waiting in the queue for my drink to be made I heard a lot of sighing and stomping and looked up from my phone to see one of the biggest people of my age I have ever seen. Her smallfat friend had been queuing while Fat made her way back from one of the fast food bars with a paper bag full of something greasy. She was fully made up with that style of makeup that fat youtubers seem to love, and she was wearing a crop top and maxi skirt. She seemed to be annoyed that there was a queue to order, and started loudly talking to her smallfat friend, obviously with the intention for everyone to hear, about how terrible the customer service was, and about how "the dumb blonde" behind the register needed to hurry up. The girl at the register was super fit, with that marathon runner look, and she did have blonde hair in a ponytail. Not at all the slightest bit dumb looking.  Finally Fat gets to the front and can at last order her drink. She's sweating around the hairline and you can kind of see where her makeup is cracking, it really isn't a good look at all. Now, this smoothie bar is known for being a healthy alternative, but Fat obviously knows her stuff. She orders the most unhealthy thing on the menu, a chocolate smoothie with frozen yogurt in it, and then demands a scoop of protein powder to be added to it. I had headphones on and could hear her over my music, she was pretty damn loud. Register girl smiles and says that'll cost $1 extra. Ham tried to convince register girl to make it free. Register girls smile is very very forced. Fat will not relent, but eventually register girl wins and ham finally pays and moves to where you pick up your drinks. I order, and am standing near Fat in the wait area. Fat is staring at me. A bad sign. I feel kind of uneasy. My name is called and I go to grab my drink. Fat yelps and rushes over. She leans over the bench and yells at a smoothie staff,  "HOW COME SHE GOT HERS FIRST WHEN I WAS IN FRONT OF HER IN THE QUEUE."  Smoothie staff with forced grins explain that, since hers was a customised order, it takes longer and can't just be 'churned out.' In hindsight, I should have just walked away, but I stand there frozen (I am very very bad with dealing with confrontation). Fat then turns to me. I knew I should have left.  "YOU SHOULD HAVE LET MINE GO FIRST".  "...Uhhh what...?" "YOU SHOULD HAVE FUCKING LET MINE GO FIRST. I WAS IN FRONT OF YOU IN THE QUEUE. YOU ARE SO FUCKING RUDE TO PUSH IN."  Luckily Fat's order came and the second the straw went in her mouth she went silent, not unlike a baby with a dummy. Fat stomped off with smallfat trailing awkwardly behind her and I guess they left because I didn't see them in any other shops.  And that, my FPH friends, is the story of how I got a free smoothie voucher from very nice smoothie staff who could see I was freaking out.  I know it's a bit of a boring story in comparison to some of your awful experiences (I do not live in America!), but this is sort of the first time that anything like this has happened to me, and I was pretty freaked out by it and so decided to vent it here. I do actually have a few other fat stories, especially regarding fats in ED treatment and recovery, so if you'd like me to share (is sharing those sort of stories appropriate here??) I will. Thanks for making me feel less alone, you guys. Keep fighting the good fight! edit: grammar.
