Why I Hate Old Navy and Victoria's Secret

I know why they call it Victoria's Secret...

The secret is anytime someone comes into their store who cannot wear their product, they treat them like crap. I have walked into Victoria's Secret on a number of occasions and not ONCE has anyone EVER asked if I needed help. The thing that aggravates the crap out of me is that I may not necessarily be shopping for myself. I could be shopping for my mother or sister or whoever. The kicker is that I love their beauty products. I wear their perfume and body creams and lip glosses. I have almost gotten to the point that I want to send someone else in to buy my stuff. I hate shopping online because it can be a pain in the booty.

Old Navy associates and customers must be cut from the same cloth. Two weeks ago me and my sweetie went shopping there to look for khaki pants for him. He can fit into their pants and some of their shirts. Every time I go there I get ignored, people walk in front me and no one ever asks if I need help. I can't buy anything there really unless I am shopping for my sweetheart. It just irks the crap out of me.

My sister who wears a size 4 said she gets this treatment when she goes in Lane Bryant shopping for me or my mother. I guess size discrimination happens everywhere.

I think the worst is when other big people critize other big people. My mother is a big proponent of this. She has been plus size for years and constantly told me what I pretty face I had and how much better I would look if I lost weight. I'm the first one to admit I need to lose weight to get heathy. But I think I look good for my size. I dress nice, I wear cute clothes, My hair always looks good and I have great accessories. Many times the older ladies at my company have commented to others and it has gotten back to me their compliments.

But I think because growing up I never thought my mom was anything less than my mom and she was beautiful. That's why I hate that one commercial where the mother said she lost weight because her kid said she was fat. What she needed to do was teach her kid tolerance and to respect other people regardless of their size, race, creed, etc. Then lose the weight for herself.

I have an understanding that sometimes kids say inappropriate things but their parents need to teach them better instead of laughing it off. Bet they would not be laughing if their child was different and others were pointing or making rude comments!

Deep down I think the woman are jealous because I am a big beautiful intelligent freindly FATABULOUS woman!

That's probably why some women could never understand why I always had boyfriends. They did not realize, big women are better lovers! LOL!
