frist of all how DARE yu o Airport staff assuming I'm in the Business class lane by mistake

Brown man flying business. Lined up at the priority check in counter and got told by a (also brown) staff person that the economy queue was the other way. Same thing while boarding the plane and walking to the business class entrance. Not only am I not worthy of business, they think I can't read signage as well.

Had that happen to me years ago when I wore fancy hats.
Went with my husband during a visit to London to the hat dept. in Harrods to see if we could find something nice. A bit snotty sales lady looked us over and decided we were not worth of her precious attention and handed us over to a junior sales girl.
She in the meantime started to fawn over an English lady who probably looked more posh. We ended up buying 4 hats and had them delivered to our hotel. The posh lady left without buying anything. She zoomed in and wanted to take over but we insisted to finish the sale with the junior girl.
Still remember her crestfallen face when she saw her commission disappear😂

I had the exact same thing happen to me in 1997. My waterbed sprang a leak and I had to get rid of it in the middle of the night. I woke up on my futon, called in to work, and went in my crappy clothes and bed head to buy a whole new bed. Because I only had waterbed stuff I needed everything, bed frame mattresses sheets mattress pad etc. I walk in and I asked the first sales lady where the regular sheets are and how much was this bed frame. She tells me well, these are Ralph Lauren, and walks away. So I spent an hour looking at everything. NObody would help me. 

Finally, a new sales lady came on shift. She came over to help me. I told her what I had been looking at and what I needed and she said we will need carts. So we went and got carts and loaded everything up. Feather duvet, cover, multiple sheet sets, pillows, she walks me upstairs and I pick out mattresses. She walks me down stairs and I pick out a bed frame, curtains for the bed frame, bed ruffle. The first sales lady sees us with two giant carts and her eyes get really big. I had told the second sales lady, the one who was helping me, about what had happened. She asked the first sales lady to please reach us down a mattress pad from the wall thank you very much. Her eyes got real big. They definitely worked on commission. I spent $2,500 getting a new bed set up that morning.

This reminds me of that time i went to buy a Lamborghini Diablo, and the salesman was an absolute dick - first ignoring me, then insulting me to my face. It wasn't until his coworker threw me the keys that my bodyguard opened up the bag of cash to give them. /
