Penny, still working for the summer at a clothing store, has a challenging customer in Karen Duvall, an overweight, sloppily-dressed teenager. When Karen inadvertently insults her by asking if she too used to be a "big girl," Penny tells her off. Aggie overhears her tirade and threatens to get her fired for being "shapist." Resisting once more the urge to get revenge on Aggie, Penny instead sets out to prove her wrong by apologizing to Karen, who says resignedly that there's nothing to be sorry for, because "Pretty people get to say what they want."
Line 10:

* [[Granola Girl]] / [[Soapbox Sadie]]: Aggie.
{{quote| Nothing is uglier than dead animals. Leather, for example, is hideous. But pleather, you know? That synthetic material that looks and feels exactly like leather? ''That'' looks ''niiice.''}}
* [[I Am Big Boned]]: Penny [[Invoked Trope|invokes]] this ironically and [http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=28 at length] in her tirade against Karen for asking if she used to be a "big" girl like her.
* [[Makeover Montage]]
