WH Smith Target Fat People

Spend 5 mins at WHS whatching the queue.
They offer half price & out of date chocolate & sweets only to fat people.

We have seen it done over several months.
I'd like to know if its company policy but it happens at several branches

never take advice from broke or unsuccessful people

    on the till counter they usually have a few boxes or bags of choc/sweets - usually out of date.
    They do ask the fatter customers " woudl you like some half price chocolates/sweets"
