A woman has recorded the moment she was refused a pedicure from a US nail salon after staff told her she was too large to fit in the chair.
Rachel Bascue was denied treatment at Regal Nails Salon in Hot Springs, Arkansas just one day after her mother was also refused a pedicure at the salon for the same reason.
On her second attempt to have a pedicure Ms. Bascue secretly recorded her conversation with salon staff on her mobile phone.
In the footage a male employee can be heard telling Ms Bascue she is too fat and would break the chair.
"You cannot (fit) over 250 lbs (112kg). You don't fit.
"I've tried to tell you too many times. It's not fit for you. It's dangerous. It's for your own benefit," the employee continued.
Ms Bascue said despite the employees claims, she and her mother had both been treated at the salon in the past without any problems.
She conceded the public humiliated she suffered during the altercation with salon staff was the worst abuse she has experience.
"I have been talked about and made fun of, but this is the first time I was made to feel like a freak," Bascue told NBC.
"I shouldn't be discriminated (sic), nobody should be made to feel like that."
Umm I have opinions about this, but I won't say what they are yet, want to see what others think.
