I believe the issue is her boobs popped out & someone saw a nipple. Some lady posted on facebook that she was there and that the girl's boob was exposed (probably unknowingly but still).


If a thin woman was @ GC and HER boobs were exposed, I wager someone would have told her to cover up as well. The issue is most likely NOT her weight but the fact that the top didn't cover her well enough.

Because it is public relations. We once had to give a customer a gift card because they complained to our corporate office that the parking lot entrance was difficult to get to because of a nearby stoplight. Hardly an admittance of wrong doing, just putting a little grease on a squeaky wheel in a misguided attempt at winning back an unhappy (but unreasonable) customer.

No they said they wanted to make amends to a disappointed customer. That is not the same as saying they were in the wrong for asking her to leave. See above.

There is NOTHING wrong with that top IMO.

She is a big woman and it doesn't look good on her, BUT... nothing is showing but a bit of cleavage. SO WHAT?

If she was a petite young thang with cleavage showing, people would think she was sexy.

This is SO sexist and judgemental, it's sickening.

How is this sexist?
Can you imagine a man of similar build wearing this in a restaurant?

Guess what ya'll, fat people can lose weight; ugly, nasty, judgmental people generally can't change. They like to look down on others.

I have a live and let live attitude (except when people are exceptionally ugly and think they are superior to other people), so if I saw this girl at Golden Corral, I would have glanced at her and went on with my life.

So many are quick to call others snowflakes when they want to insult someone, but apparently they are the snowflakes because they are so offended by an overweight young lady in clothing they personally don't approve of.
Yes. This. All of this.

No need for burkas, just normal clothing.

And no need to be rude, either.
I'm being rude? give me a break.

This gal was wearing shorts and a sleeveless top. Yeah, it showed cleavage. If you are so offended by her lack of clothing, then you'll just about have a heart attack here in my part of Texas, lol.

Just eat your food and move on. I don't give others enough thought to care about some other person wearing shorts and a tank top. BTW, I am a parent with younger children. They don't give a flip either.

Maybe you don’t realize it, but one way children learn is by example.

Guess I’d hate living in your part of TX.
