fuck.
i was writing a brillant piece of crap when safari quit on me.
fuck.
now, as i was saying, i think local staff at boutiques providing luxury goods should take the snob factor down a notch or two.
the local paper had 2 undercovers, one dressed in casual attire and the other decked in a louis vuitton bag, a nice pair of shoes, looking all chic and rich, going into boutiques to check the snob factor in the staff.
some were nice and some not so.
i ask, why?
why are some staff so snobbish? do they have secret swiss bank accounts the size of china or are regular patrons of roberto cavalli? i'm wondering if these people even know how to pronounce christian lacroix.
the snobs are no fashionistas. they may not even know how to wear velvet this autumn but i suspect they work to get a small discount on the goods which they can hardly afford on their meagre income. then they self-delude and boast to their friends on how knowledgable they are about the world of fashion.
of course i'm only spitting on the snobs.
there are many helpful and knowledgable sales staff who do not check if you're carrying a kelly bag before they serve you. they are the smart ones who make you feel like a hundred bucks even if you may not even have that in your bank account but hey, who knows, a ton of cash could drop right next to you. then again, that's how i delude myself.
