SACRAMENTO, CA – Helen Hodges understood the need for a gas station clerk to write her identifying information on a sales receipt. She just wishes he had chosen a different phrase.
“It says ‘black lady,’ and I can understand that because I am a black lady,” Hodges told News10. “But I don’t get ‘big fat.’ I don’t get that part.”

So she is big.
So she is fat.
So she is black.
So she is a lady.
Words don’t usually hurt the person uttering them. And if so few here can see how this might be insulting then our country still has a long way to go in learning respect.
Many times I hear how we don’t have any respect for others. Even from several people posting negative comments on this specific blog. Grow up people.
#23 Let me guess: you are a big fat black guy
Wow this might be a first, a photo that actually is from the story instead of bootlegged photos of all types from the internet wasteland. So what’s this “need for a gas station clerk to write her identifying information on a sales receipt”? Sounds like a case for the ACLU to hit them for violating civil rights, on numerous matters, illegally marking up a customers receipt, racial profiling, discrimination, defamation, as well as a violation of the disabilities act. She should sue the station and the oil company. Slam them both good. They have no right to write on a receipt, once someone pays for gas, it’s their receipt, not the stations’. Then take it to the city council, forcing them to look at how unsafe it is to pump your own gas. If the stations don’t like the new city code, and have a fit, have the judges tell them they can go back to FULL SERVICE like they do in Oregon, as a matter of public safety. And what the fuck is this crap of standing in lines behind people with snacks and sodas and buying lottery tickets and then making you pump your own flammable materials in 49 states? This is progress?
Special Ed, ROTFLMBFAO.
Maybe it should have said mamma jamma.
I bet that bitch would murder a bucket of chicken.
The only mistake the clerk made was redundancy. “Big” or “fat” was deadly accurate but no need for both words.
#30 I don’t know man, your Momma does such a good job. Why stop her?
I wouldn’t like fat old man either but I do resemble the description.
If she doesn’t think the description fits then why not return the money? It couldn’t be her. LOL
#41 got it right. “big fat” is redundant. “enormous” would have been a better choice. The clerk did not have a name, they needed a physical description.
He would have written on my son’s receipt, smelly, disgusting, slovenly, severely retarded, barf wallowing asswipe.
“But I don’t get ‘big fat.’ I don’t get that part.”
Ah so the description wasn’t complete enough. It should have read “Black Lady, Big Fat, stupid idiot” on the receipt.

“Chances are guaranteed there is more than one black lady”
Absolutely right. So if you want to offend your customer base, then this clerk deserves a raise.

It looks like to you it is offending to describe a black person “black”? What it should say, “african american” perhaps?! Now that would be so offending if she is born and raised in USA and have nothing in common with africans except for some ancestors back few hundred years ago or so!
Politically correct idiots like you are so sick, there is no cure for your brainwashed debilism :/
Its almost impossible to not offend a woman about her appearance.
The best thing would be to put something exotic like “nubian big beautiful queen”
Maybe Sir Mixalot was working that day…
