not phat girls

I dont agree with your logic kayak, if it were a table of black people would it be ok to write "n#gg#r table" on the check? Offensive is offensive regardless if its true or not. Not professional at all on that restaurants part.

Not being in the restaurant business, I'm not sure if this is accurate, but the logical assumption would be the server wrote this on the check just for his reference. It would tell him what table it was, and when he totaled and printed the final bill he would have deleted the fat girls reference. However, he left the premises and his replacement most likely did not notice his "reference". More than likely that is the scenario, a waiter would not intentionally endanger his TIP. Unless he rode a Harley and swore it was the best motorcycle made today, then you might understand his lack of intellect.

My wife and I had this same discussion, my argument is that race is not something you can change and while it may have been offensive to them being fat is something you can fix if it really bothers you that much

Yea but, what if it in their genes(genetically predisposed to the FAT gene), but wait, it is in their jeans(Big Bertha Brand).

Its so nice to notice that people these days are put to these little boxes, in this case, big boxes,
rather then just being treated as... well.. people.
We all have something that makes us different from each other..
I agreed that this "fat girls" was used as reference to guide the right bill to the right table.
What I cant figure out is, that why arent the tables refered as "1, 2, 3..etc".
I'm beginning to think that this unlucky reference was just some "fed-up-to-my-job"-guys
way to survive yet another day on that job. I used to think that way...
People are idiots, and they still demand excellent service.
In this case he/she was just too sloppy or just didnt care anymore...

Calling something/someone what they are is not and should not be offensive. If it said "Fat Kunts" then your analogy towards race would be correct and then I would agree that it is just uncalled for.

Again, using your analogy towards race, if it said "Black girls" that might be an accurate assessment of the people at the table and shouldn't be offensive at all.

Do you see the difference?

Sorry dude, I cannot agree with this. My girl is 134lbs and there is no way her ass is going to fit inside the rumble or any other passenger seat that would fit on a warrior. Have you seen the rear ends thread??? MOST of the women in there would not fit within the confines of our seats. There is a big difference between Phat @ss and Phat Girl.

It's not the literal word that is offensive, it's the WAY it was used -as a derogatory label. He didn't write that word (BTW I saw on the news this morning that he was fired) simply as a label to identify someone. He could have written "table 10" if he wanted to do that. He used it as a way to label them in a derogatory manner. Just as if you wrote "Jew girls" to identify a bunch of girls at a table. It might be correct, but it's used in an offensive manner. Nobody wants to be addressed as "Jew girl" just like nobody wants to be addressed as "Fat girl." And I think you could carry that same argument to "black girls." If you walked up to the table, and said "hey, which of you black girls ordered the diet coke?" -while your statement may be accurate, it would be perceived as being offensive, because you used a race label to identify them. Just because something is accurate doesn't make it less offensive in context. In a way you're taking it out of context.

Try this: Suppose your wife is a little hefty. If someone walked up and said, "Hey fat girl, would you like to order a drink?" She'd more than likely be offended, even if it's a true statement. So your statement "Calling someone something they are is not, and should not, be offensive" doesn't really hold true, given that there is always context to consider.

If he wrote that intentionally for them to see, he obviously did not want a tip. Pretty strange behavior for a waiter. He should seek a different line of work.
