Was I body shamed at Mcdonalds

[L9ucy]

Went to Mcdonalds drive through as a treat, my DD wanted to pay, so handed the 5 pound note from the back seat. The man working on the drive through thought it was funny and said ''it's a good job I'm slim'' I have no idea what being slim had to do with it, he could reach but not because he was slim.. feel it was a dig at me

Reading too much into it. He will be sqeezing out the little window. You wouldn't last long at Macdonalds if anti fat people. It is ground zero for the overweight.

1 stone overweight is thin in the UK. I think it was a comment about him and nothing to do with you.

I really do feel for workers in public facing roles these days. It's going to get to the point where they daren't speak to customers at all!
This is a bit of a pathetic post really.
You should have been more reasonable in positioning the car right, he should have been able to make a little joke about himself, without you getting all offended at something that wasn't even aimed at you!
I'm on the larger side, I had to squeeze between a bar and a row of chairs at Christmas to get to the loo. I joked and said, "It's a good job I'm thin". Would you have been offended by that if you were sat at the table?!
What is the world coming to?!

If you have to ask, then you weren't.

Like moths to a flame

No, you weren't body or anything else shamed, you're being unreasonable and ridiculous and you know it, especially with this "I don't understand why weight was brought into it' - you know perfectly well that it was a comment he made as he attempted to squeeze through the window so your little girl could pay herself, and not a dig at you.
You've just identified someone who wouldn't be able to defend themselves in the face of a ridiculous accusation like this and are using the opportunity to offload your feelings about your own weight.

Doubt he could even see you! You’re being a bit sensitive I think… McDonald’s would be out of business if they started criticising their customers! As would any business.

Surely he can't see your body size while you're sat in the car?

If he'd yelled 'it's a good job I'm thin,' whilst staring aggressively at your face you might have a point. Since he didn't do anything of the sort and just made the standard 'small talk joke' (in the same way as the 'I suppose it must be free, then' when a barcode won't scan or the 'I printed them myself this morning' when handing you new banknotes) he wasn't fat shaming you or anyone else. He wasn't even making a personal remark about himself, he just had his mouth in gear and was saying the things he says to a million other customers. Who aren't, I notice, on here complaining of being body shamed.

WTF! No, no, and no again. I think you may have an issue based on the fact you asked after such an innocuous comment.

He was making a joke about how he slightly had to awkwardly reach to the back window to collect the cash. If he was bigger it would've been harder to reach. That's why people don't pay from the back.
He was talking about himself. If anything wishing you'd driven the car closer to him to accommodate him reaching out to the back window?

Sorry but you are being ridiculous.

Are you overweight and sensitive about it?
I suspect it was just a throwaway comment.

😂

Oh FFS

Okie dokie.
Fit and healthy here and eat whatever I want . Just wouldn't want to eat that stuff as it's barely even food let alone badging it as a' treat ' 🤔

Struggling hard to fathom how his quip could be construed as a dig at you. Still, you've given Mumsnet a chuckle...

If you watch fitness and diet influences on TikTok they actually say that a treat is OK and most of the time you can still stick to your calories.

I do think you are being very paranoid though OP.

If you watch fitness and diet influences on TikTok

I don't think I'll be getting advice from 'influencers' nor TikTok thanks.

Influences was the wrong word. There is some really good fitness advice on there. So you aren't really that funny. I just used the wrong word.

Because he needed to lean out through his little window?

You obviously don't know that much about TikTok and the variety of people that use it.

Joe Wicks is on it. Thanks.

You're projecting your own insecurities onto what he said OP.
