Southwest's customer of size policy I was reading the "Tips for flying while fat" article and Southwest's policy really interested me. Basically the policy states that customers who encroach on other seats can purchase an additional ticket. They will receive their ticked and a "reserved" seating sign that they may place on the seat next to them. They also get to board prior to everyone else so they can choose where they would be most comfortable sitting. After the flight they get to contact Southwest and receive a refund for their extra ticket.  My question is, why can't shitlords call themselves "customers of size" to receive these extra perks? Would it be discrimination if Southwest didn't give us the same benefits? Let's do something about this, we can't keep letting fats get what they want.
