I feel obligated to review an embarrassing episode that we experienced on April 21, 2024, at 3:45 PM, at Sunset Ashram, Cala Compte, by an employee of said business. I cannot provide the name, but I can describe what he was doing at that time. He is a young man of very short stature and size, dark-skinned, who at that time was the waiter in charge of the area with Balinese beds. Yesterday afternoon, a group of three girls, including myself, went to have a good time. As soon as we entered the premises towards the terrace, this man shamelessly began to make fatphobic comments and jokes towards one of the people in our group, in order to laugh with the rest of his colleagues (other waiters, stationed at the nearby bar and what was probably a security guard). He provided a series of jokes that he and his colleagues enjoyed very much, as you can imagine, causing discomfort to the customers who came to have a good time without questioning anyone's body diversity and finding ourselves surrounded by a group of cruel people who are in charge of serving and representing the business. At first, I personally ignored it to spare the affected person the embarrassment. However, later on, I approached them alone to discuss what had happened because I found it extremely cruel coming from someone who, furthermore, works facing the public. I suggested that they tell me the name of a responsible manager to inform them of what happened, since both he and his colleague (the possible security guard) continued to make fun of the situation, gaslighting, laughing, and of course refusing to provide me with the information. Since I didn't want to cause any more discomfort to the affected person, I decided to leave the incident there and enjoy (as best we could) the rest of the afternoon. However, I feel obligated to alert anyone else who may intend to go that it is a place where respect is lacking, body diversity is not respected, and of course, the staff members openly display and manifest fatphobia. It's pathetic that not only was the aforementioned individual enjoying the situation and the jokes, as I mentioned, but also the rest of the staff around him. Truly lamentable.
