Tuesday, August 24th, 2010I call it a sad state of affairs… Stop the madness!
When will people begin to take responsibility for themselves and deal with the consequences of their actions and choices?
*Umm… this is a sensitive topic… weight. Well, a woman in Dekalb County, Georgia had a pretty embarrassing moment at a local nail salon.
Michelle Fonville got a pedi and mani, and got her brows done. And when she was handed the bill she got a very unpleasant surprise – a $5 surcharge.
At first she was a bit confused about the bill and informed the person in charge, saying there was a mistake made.
She was corrected by the salon manager, who told her it was no mistake. It was a new charge they established for overweight people.
Yes, for fat people. She explained to the customer who nearly broke down in tears, that people who exceeded the 200-pound capacity for the salon chairs were costing her big money to keep those chairs in operation – $2,500 each!
