To be completely fair, people have zero filter when it comes to height comments on either end of the spectrum, and it's fukked up.
I was in a Wawa last week and the cashier was about 7 foot. I just paid for my drink and bounced but the woman behind me gets up to him and the first thing out her mouth was "now you know you are too tall to be working here" and I could tell by dude's unfazed reaction that he's used to being treated like a sideshow circus act.
Like what posseses people to think offering their unsolicited opinions about someone else's physical appearance is acceptable? I'm quite sure if he responded that she was too fat to be shopping there she'd be offended.
