This afternoon I went to a goldsmith shop
and bought two of my close friend a
'friendship' ring each, since both of them
are going back soon (they are expatriate).
After that before we went to the goldsmith
shop next door to look for a particular
branded watch. I asked the goldsmith how
much he said $4K, then what about the
other one about the same price he said,
from his tone of voice he doesn't sounds
like I am able to afford the watch. My
friend and I look at each other and walked
away. I told her that I can get the same
watch for a much lower price and since he
doesn't want the 'business' I shall take
it somewhere else. Yesterday the same
thing happened to me when I wanted to get
two tv set for my children's room, some of
the saleperson are quite reluctant to
serve me. I ever heard of the same thing
happened to a well known celebrity who
went to a boutique in a posh place. I was
just wondering is it because of my skin
colour or is it because of something else,
believe me I am not trying to start a
racial 'fight' but I trying to find WHY am
I being treated that way? Have anyone ever
had the same experience? Am my money not
good enought to shop there? Sorry if I
hurt anyone's feeling but I am only trying
to get opinion.

it's because those ppl judge the way you
look and they are snotty. been there done
that don't sweat it. that's what this
world is coming to a bunch or either
billionairs or to poor to afford their
next meal. i hate it. but seriously don't
even think about it they can't actually
rufuse to help you in their store or you
can i think actually sue them..... but not
a 100% sure of that.

yeah ive gotten the same thing from a
ceriatin oral surgeon. he put in my file
that because of my social status i couldnt
afford the treatment and so i wasnt a
candidate for surgery. well let me tell
you I paid for the surgery all by myself.
i wrote a check. just cause i look younge
and dress a certain way doesnt mean that i
dont have money

hay i just saw this and thought id add to
it.
the other day i was walking around Glasgow
shopping for the nameless sexless Bump i
have.
i was there with john and he had just
finnished work so he was wairing rigger
boots and overalls where the arms were
tied around his waist with a henley Tshirt
on.
its all old clothes he waires but as i
went into Baby V.I.P's to find a nice baby
outfit they looked at me pushing the
buggie with scott in it and having a laugh
with john they were so arigent and
dissmisive. like i couldnt aford anything
out of that shop!
i was mad! so i just told them that i'll
just order everything out of Cradle days
in Ashington. My uncle Owns it and
everything in it is sooooooo expencive.
after that the just wait oh wait mam!
F*ck off lol i just walked away. imagine
that

i also want to add that he put this in my
surgical file--i could sue him for
discrimination and not treating a patient
that he very well could have helped. It
was all about himself. he spent and hour
telling us how good he is and how he wrote
a book(i looked it up--he wrote only the
forward--go figure) and spent only about 5
min on me. he also said i was very
negative--well can you blame me?I wasnt
being negative though--i was trying to
filter out in my head what was an
egotistical speech by someone that i
really didnt want treating me in the
longrun(knew that in about 5 min) and what
was somting that i had to pay attention to
lol

You've done the right thing (in my
opinion) I don't think I am able to do
that - no guts! You are so brave hun, I
wish I could be like you or Tmddyan.

expencive. everyone that worked there were
soo judgemental and well it made me leave
but your ment to be there bringing in the
money not pushing it out the door!

themselves in a way you never think you

yeah I've gotten that, I assume it's
because i'm 18 so they figure I have no
money . It's a bit annoying, I usually
just leave the shop and not get anything
in annoyence
