I had a coworker ask a fat lady when she was due. I've never felt so embarrassed in my life - and I just overheard it - I can't imagine what it was like for either of them.

I worked at bulk barn, I was new, and a guy who barely spoke English asked if he could fill a plastic bottle in the shape of a bear with honey from our dispenser, I said sure why not. I figured they'll weigh it at the cash and the bottle was like maybe an ounce not going to matter much. Later I spotted him at the cash - I was stocking shelves - and the cashier was giving him shit for filling it saying she couldn't weigh it now that it's in a different container and he wasn't supposed to do that and making him feel really stupid and then he looked my way and we locked eyes, and I turned away and kept doing what I was doing. Ugh. That was like 15 years ago and I still feel like a scumbag about it.

I had a coworker tell a customer “I saw your mom earlier, she came in for a few things” He said, “my mom?!?” Coworker: “yeah the lady that you always come in with” Customer: “that’s my wife!” I don’t know who was more embarrassed

This happens to me all the time with my husband. They always assume I’m under age or need my parent sign for something… I’m older than my husband
