"Just thought you were pudgy" a store clerk says

in November 2015 Moms
so I was at the store today buying a cute journal to start for the baby about the pregnancy. I picked a cute journal with owls on it. I'm checking out and as she rings it up and looks at me and ask "oh do you like owls?" I smiled and said "yes and I thought it would be cute for a baby. I'm starting one about my pregnancy" she looks at my stomach and I do have a cute little bump going. Then she says "oh I just thought you were pudgy." Ouch that stung a bit. I smiled and shrugged it off but who in their right mind says that to someone??? I was floored. (Picture is my belly today)

    Ouch... I would have replied maybe I am "pudgy", I'm pregnant... What's your excuse? How nasty of someone!

    Edit to post, you're NOTED pudgy at all

    Excuse me? Ummm...that is very clearly a baby bump!
    I would have gone to the manager because that is just flat out rude to say to a customer! 

    From the moment I held you in my arms, I knew it was meant to be.

    I adore her smile,
    I cherish her hugs,
    I admire her heart.
    But most of all,
    I love that she is my daughter.

    That is so rude. Unfortunately random strangers commenting about your bellies size only continues to get worse the bigger you get.

    You were much nicer than I would have been. As one of the people above said I would have asked what her excuse for "pudge" was lol

    Right. And the fact that she was a good 200 at the least was crazy too for that comment

    That's actually highly inappropriate and rude to say to a customer. You should speak to a manager. Also she is so stupid because you look absolutely adorable with your obvious baby bump!!

    Wowwwww. I worked at a clothing store that had a maternity section and we were instructed to never assume a woman was pregnant, even if she looked ready to pop! To tell someone you thought they looked pudgy? How rude!

    I am so afraid of this! I have a tiny bump too, and my clothes are getting uncomfortable now and I feel like if I shop in the maternity section people will think this :( I am so sorry that person said that to you!

    When I was quite large with my 2nd I had a cashier ask me if it was twins. It wasn't then said "you must eat really good". My mom was making the purchase so I just walked away. I was floored she would say that let alone to a customer's. I am 5'1 so not much room for the baby but out. Still I don't care if I looked like I was caring 5 babies you never say that. Sorry she was an ass. Sadly a lot of people loose weight comment filters around pregnant women.
