Once Again, Proof That Saying "No Offense" Afterwards REALLY Doesn't Help

I was just downstairs in the cafe, buying a Diet Coke so I could stay awake through my night class, when this happened:

Me (leaning awkwardly to dig through my backpack to get my wallet): It's in here somewhere.

Cashier Lady (leaning over cash register) : Are you pregnant?

Me (looking around to make sure it was me she was insulting): Um, no.

Cashier Lady: Oh. ...It's just...cuz you look it.

Me: Oh...OKAY.

Cashier Lady: ...no offense.

Me: Um...can I just pay please?

OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD.

The HELL?

For the record, um, you DON'T and she's an IDIOT. WOW.

A homeless man in London told me the same thing two summers ago! Not the best way to get my spare change, I'd say. And he didn't even say sorry!
