Women outraged over 'fat girls' restaurant bill

Three women say they're outraged after learning that they identified as "fat girls" on a receipt at a California restaurant. Christine Duran, Christina Huerta and Isabel Robles say their enjoyable meal at the Cameo Club Casino's restaurant in Stockton, ended painfully on Thursday when a waiter delivered the offensive receipt on their table.



"I got the bill, and I was like ‘Why does the receipt say 'fat girls'?’" Duran said. Her friends refused to believe her. “I was laughing at her, and she was like ‘I'm serious.’ I'm like ‘No, it does not say fat girls. Let me see it,’” Huerta said. The women confronted their waiter, who denied any involvement. He said the slur was likely entered by Jeff, the server who had taken their order.



The women demanded to see a manager, who then offered the ladies 25% off their bill – a move that provoked further outrage. "He had like a smirk on his face, like if it was funny, but he was trying not to laugh,” Huerta said. “He was like ‘Well, I can do 50 percent,’ and we were just like ‘Are you serious?’” The bar manager at the Cameo Club Casino later said he was “appalled” by incident.

"I just want to tell them that we're sincerely sorry for that and that we'll do everything in our power to make sure that this never happens to anyone ever again," Jimmy Seimers said. Jeff, whose last name was not given, admitted to typing in the insult and has since been suspended. The women say that no number of apologies will erase the difficult memory. "They can't change it," Robles said. "This is something that we got to live with ­– all three of us."

They ought to consider themselves lucky he used the term "girls". They look about 50 and yes, they are fat.

The guy should be fired! Plain and simple.

I do understand that many women don't appreciate being called 'girls', but claiming this is something you'll have to live with, like it was somehow a permanent injury, is just overblown and stupid.

They are not fat; they're grossly and disgustingly obese. As for whether or not they're girls, I don't want to get close enough to find out, as I'm afraid they might decide I look tasty.

LOL! It is what it is. Don't want to be called fat...do something about it. Bet they didn't eat a salad at Chilly D's.

to all those commenting on "well, that's what they are!" you wouldn't like to receive your receipt with a racial slur or something that points out your physical flaws.

that is childish, petty and a loss of patrons to a business. why would you want to get rid of your customers/risk losing your job just for a joke that just hits the wrong chord?

50% off... What an insult, a valid description like that is worth atleast 10 cheeseburgers and half a dozen milkshakes each. Bet that would have shut them up, atleast until they finished eating.
