AIO about a Southwest flight attendant commenting on my weight in front of the whole cabin?
I’m a bigger guy. I know this about myself. But here’s what happened today boarding a Southwest flight from Austin to Denver.
I get to my row and the flight attendant is standing in my seat. I tell her that’s my seat. She asks out loud, with people boarding right past us if I purchased an extra seat. I say no, it’s just me. She then asks if I’ve ever needed to buy an extra seat before. Like she was surprised I fit in a single seat.
I told her that was the nicest way I’ve ever been called fat. She says, “we call it customer of size, not fat” like the term was the problem, not the fact that she was commenting on my body in front of a full plane of strangers. When I told her that was rude, she backpedaled and tried to apologize.
I know I’m fat. That’s not news to me. But AIO thinking this was an inappropriate and unprofessional conversation?
