(VIDEO) 200lb Georgia Woman Charged Extra at Nail Salon for being OVERWEIGHT

After receiving a manicure, pedicure and eyebrow arch from Natural Nails in Dekalb County, Georgia, the owner charged an extra $5 dollars to a Georgia woman for being overweight. 


Salon manager Kim Tran explained that the extra fee was meant to cover the cost of replacing the $2,500 salon chair, in the chance that it broke. The chairs are only meant to withstand 200 pounds and anything above that weight has the potential to damage the chairs. 


"I said, Ma'am, you can't charge me $5 more. That's discrimination because of my weight." 
-the 200lb Georgia woman said. 


"Do you think that's fair when we take $24 [for manicure and pedicure] and we have to pay $2,500? Is that fair? No," said Tran in her defense. Tran has since refunded Fonville her $5 and told her to take her business elsewhere.
