   Something you don't see every day.. thankfully!

AKRON -- A woman was told she was too fat to tan at a Norton tanning salon.
Kelly McGrevey said she purchased a tanning package at Aloha Tanning in Norton on Monday after a quick tour of the salon. 
When she returned to tan on Tuesday, McGrevey says the man working at Aloha at the time turned her away.
"He said, "Sorry, but I'm not going to let you tan today because 
we've just implemented a new policy where anyone over 230 pounds can't 
go in one of our beds,'" said McGrevey.
"I was just so shocked and embarrassed and humiliated."

	I believe that IKEA had a problem several years ago when their furniture would not support the weight of heavy customers that purchased their furniture. Therefore they now have to place max weight on the tags of their furniture.

	Maybe tanning rates should be based on surface area tanning.
