Don’t look down on someone who looks like a worthless poor person. Because they might have money, which would make them a person who matters. While someone dressed fancy might not have much money, so they are actually trash, you shouldn’t waste your time on.

I was a teenager but had my own successful DJ business. I was initially ignored by the salesman but I really liked a truck they had. There was no other customers on the lot at the time. Finally an old man came out and sold me the truck. While doing the paperwork I overheard the other two salesman griping about losing my sale. I asked the old man about it and he told me a story of a homeless looking guy in the early 70’s that wanted to test drive the new corvette. No one wanted to wait on him so this guy did. Turns out he paid cash as his daddy was loaded.

The old man said he had been the top salesman everywhere he went because he learned not to judge. He also told me he would be following up with me over time to see how i liked the truck and if he could sell me another vehicle in the future. He kept note cards on all of his customers and had been inside calling some of them when I first came to the dealership. He was true to his word and over a few years I bought two more from him. The other salesman were too lazy to actually put the effort in to be successful.

Where the Native American woman is humiliated for being ...a poor Native American (who is married to a very well off family). This is the beginning of the payback. The store gets destroyed and the gal that runs the store gets a vicious dose of karma. Unfortunately, I can't find a full clip of it.

This looks like one of those sensitivity training videos, but whatever ... have experienced it myself.

This is going back almost 50 years ago. So we’re young and soon to get married, and my future husband decides he’d like to wear a white suit to our wedding. So we run uptown to Bloomingdales, and he can’t really get anyone to help him (you know, he had long hair and that bohemian hippie look back then ... so handsome, but doesn’t fit that Upper East Side young executive look). So he picks out a designer white suit that he really loves and takes it into the fitting room to try on. Eventually a salesman walks by and my husband asks him if he thinks the fit is okay. The guy looks him over and says, “If I were you I’d look for something less expensive” ... and walks away.

So we’re mortified, and walk out, to get the bus back downtown. We’re walking across 57th Street, and suddenly, in front of a shop window, he says “Stop! Look at this china!” We didn’t have or want a wedding registry, but so many relatives were expressing dismay that they couldn’t buy us that regular kind of stuff, we were feeling we’d have to give them something. “Oh no, we can’t walk into this fancy shop looking like this after that bad experience,” I said. But, having no shame, he forged in. The people in that store treated us like we were royalty, with no judgment as to our age or hippiedom, and seemed pleased my husband had such good taste. Forty-seven years later, we still have those lovely Limoges dishes with birds on them, and a reminder of that crazy day.

I beat the price down and when they ask about financing I ask if a check will be ok.
One of life's joys. Right up there with quitting a job and telling them don't bother with a counter offer.

I went into a store where the entire staff ostentatiously ignored me. A better dressed fellow came in behind me, and they nearly shoved each other aside for the chance to offer assistance.

I'm no million dollar business owner, but I did have sufficient cash for my intended purchase.

I walked out smiling, and a little sadly.
