Fenn, a few years back as I hit “middle age.” I saw a DSN for the “usual.”I misunderstood the meaning of this thread, I thought it was describing general ignorance but if it’s implied that T2’s are thought of in a negative light by the world, definitely! I have even seen it here by T1’s but this place is generally way more enlightened. The sad truth is the world is fattist and T2 is regarded as a self enflicted illness, brought on by over endulgance. I would be banned if I expressed how Ignorant I find this
As I sat down she clearly looked me over. (Nay, looked round me.) & said, “well! You don’t look type two..”
“Neither did my dad,” I responded.
“Oh,” she said, “was he type one?” I seriously couldn’t make this stuff up..?
Then whilst chatting to a reasonably well known recording studio engineer & musician. (He worked with some big rock metal acts.)
He brought up the subject of his health? I mentioned I was “diabetic.” He then enquired, is that the good one or the bad one.”
(I still realy don’t know what that means?) But I did reply with,”none of them do us any favours.”
I’ve also been in bands with fellow T1s. had to sack one when other band members were experiencing irreconcilable attitude issues.
At the end of the day. This topic is about a customer encounter with an unprofessional shop employee.
There are “reasonable adjustments in the work place” for anyone with a condition.
But no “adjustment” for “that…”
