"Ha, how the snooty people turn when they realize that fat people have feelings too. "
More likely, how they turn when they realize fat people have money, too!
As to Richardson Bike Mart- I was in the White Rock store one time, bunch of fit-looking customers in there, and no one even said hello to me, as they were all busy taking care of "real" customers. But I went to the Richardson store a while back, and I think about 6 different people asked me if they could help me before I got out of there. I hadn't thought about the contrast between the two.
I have discovered in the past that if you walk into a nice store (like a department store) wearing really grungy worked-on-the-car type clothes, they're always quick to jump in and offer their assistance. Dress nice and you get ignored, though.
