    This is hilarious to me as I'm size 4 and a fitness instructor. I generally go to Smiths on my way in to work when I'm normally wearing my very obviously sporty uniform. And 9 times out of 10, they'll offer me the chocolates. Which I usually take! Perhaps they are trying to fatten me up.

    I'm not overweight and I get asked.

    I think they are supposed to offer it to all customers, but the branch that the OP is on about have worked out that only the overweight customers usually accept it, so maybe that's why they only offer it to them?
  • This thread is hilarious!

    I am just about to go to lunch so I think I will pop to Smiths and see whether I am having a fat day or not.

    Come to think of it, I did get offered a half price newspaper the other week - looks like those sick b*stards at Smiths are targeting people who can read now too! Where will it all end?!

    I reckon this is a cheeky way of getting more people into WHSmiths ;)

    As far as I know they offer cut price sweets to most people.:D
  • I'm clinically underweight and it's pretty obvious. But I still get offered the cheap chocolate.
    Male. :o
  • I must be fat then. lol.


    Actually I'm not really. Maybe she offered me some because I look miserable when I'm in there.
