Pitney & Amelia's Bitchen Boutique

How dare people think they have the right to judge us! Seriously, though, Amelia had two really gross encounters with waitstaff at Applebee’s where they treated her as a “fat customer” instead of a “customer,” much to Pitney’s surprise. She talks about how she often gets treated horribly for daring to exist in public as a fat person, and how fat people, women in particular, get misdiagnosed by awful doctors who see the fat and assume it’s the cause of every malady. Then Pitney talks about a couple times when he was treated badly by waitresses and he rained terror upon their establishments! (Not really. He just got somebody fired.) Finally, Pitney shares a story about this year’s Pride service at his Unitarian Universalist (UU) church, and how much he loves the opportunity going to church gives him to learn that his assumptions about people are often incorrect. But will we stop judging people? Surely you jest! Promo: Tuesdays With Mari (Want to swap show promos? Email us!) We love you for listening! Please tak
