Reply #7: Power goes to their head. [View All]

Years ago we would get dressed up when going into an upscale department store because we knew the clerks wouldn't wait on us unless we were dressed up. They in low wage jobs even looked down their noses at customers.

I had a rich aunt who would dress in a less than rich way. One the family story goes...she walked into a fur store with my grandmother for a winter coat. She loved to walk long distances in Buffalo winters and figured the fur coat would be very warm. The clerks all ignored her. She picked out her coat, walked up to them and paid cash and walked out of the store. Their mouths hung open.

Moral of the story is...you can't judge a book by its cover. Even Jackie Kennedy wore fake jewelry.

Because of the "dirty" diamonds in Africa many women are rethinking the real ones from Tiffany. They buy semi-precious stones or man made.
