On a related note, the thin employees are always nicer to me. Especially at convenience stores.  The lady at the 7-Eleven near the last place I worked let me replace my Big Gulp cup when it got a crack.    At a different 7-Eleven, I got the following treatment from the fat sheboon behind the counter: "Is that the 1/4-Pound Big Bite?" [not hearing my question except for "Big Bite"] "What about it?" Bonus: "the bathroom's closed"--again, they were less nice about it than other places.  So I had to go outside and find a really dark corner to pee, because it was at night there were no businesses in close proximity with a bathroom. I hate when businesses give you bitchy treatment like that.  Because I know I would act less bitchy in that situation, and I'm a socially inept autist.  I may be awkward talking to customers, but by motherfucking golly I don't ever get bitchy at them if it's not a help-desk-type role.  Fats do, for obvious reasons. The upside is the confidence boost.  "Hey, I could do that job.  If this person is so rude to customers and still employed, I could totally do that job."
