I was at the mall tonight and I went to the Louis Vuitton store. The attendant was sure to remind me that "we don't encourage people to come in here without the intention of purchasing anything".
To which I responded with "well, I do have the intention of buying something." I don't know if I'm overreacting, but this really hurt my feelings. I ended up buying three shirts, a pair of slacks, and a wallet. I wish I could have bought back my pride  .

Ugh, that happened to me once at some fancy schmancy electronics store in a bigger city.
I came in and I was browsing through the CDs and they said just about the same thing to me.. It really pissed me off and it made me feel like I wasn't good enough to walk through their store. Meh, I kind of just... attempted to tell them off the best that I could as ten year-old..:P I know what you mean though.. |

try not to let it get to you. i think i can feel where you are comming from. i find that most people that work in stores like that have the tendancy to be rude to people if they don't see you wearing 1,000 dollars worth of diamons. [i joke]
my response to somthing as rude as that would be: "Well, I wouldn't have walked into the store if I had no intention of buying anything now would I?" that probably would shut her up. |

Well first off that attendent had no right to say that. I hate when you go to these fancy stores and they give you one look and assume they know everything about you.

I get that a lot. What I usually do to retaliate is try on a bunch of clothes and leave a mess for the attendant. Then, I'd go to next door, purchase some stuff... then come back and make another mess.
It's fun.

Aww..
 Eugh I hate it when people think you're going to steal someone and follow you around or give you an attitude--who knows? We probably would end up buying someone there.What you could've done was ask them for their name then ask to speak with the manager and say that the person is a bad employee because s/he treated you cruely. You also could've said (REALLY LOUDLY) "well I do intend on buying something, but since you've been so rude, YOU JUST LOST SERVICE HERE. KTHX." And storm out. I've never been asked that before, though. Hey where are you, anyway, Justin? Are you in San Diego? If so were you at the Fashion Valley LV store? Haha dork. |

That is horrible!!! grrr thats why i hate fancy stores.
one time, i went to the mall with my grandma and sister, and i was in my abercrombie stage (i was 10 then, 13 now//not interested in prep-obilia anymore) and i could fell someone looking at me, but i didnt really care, until i noticed my grandma wasnt around anymore. so i went to the front desk of the store (abercrombie) and my grandma was talking to this pretty, blonde girl and she looked really angry, and the girl was giving me bad looks, so i just waited a little bit. then when she got done, she told me that the girl had been "gossiping with her friends about me", or in my words, thinking i wasnt worthy. that really made me self-conscious. good thing im past that abercrombie stage *phew* if i were you, i would've slapped that hag in the face right then and there. |

I think that's a light punishment. :P That's true. It's just a mess that can be easily cleaned up, but like Justin said, our pride is involved and can't be cleaned up as easy as the mess. I could be more evil and complain to the managers. When I complain, I stay to make sure that the person gets in trouble. So, it's better to clean up a mess, then to get me complaining.

I intentionally go into stores like that and snub all their crap. I'll pick a shirt of the rack and look at my friend and say "what is this? who would pay money for something like this?" and act like all their crap is beneath me.
I was raised poor, so I don't tolerate people acting like that. I'd be willing to bet that isn't a company policy either. That's a quick way to lose customers. |

i haven't really experienced that..however, i've had people charging me MORE than what the item would really cost thinking i have more money than i do.
my sister was carrying a fake louis vuitton purse (nicely-made however, so it looked real) when she, my aunt, and i walked into a boutique on melrose avenue in LA. they had a shirt that said "jesus is my sugar daddy" and i wanted it cause i thought it was funny (don't reply to this telling me it's disrespectful or something please). i asked how much it was and the saleslady came up and looked at the guy at the counter and was like "how much is this..for her?" and the guy was like "35." 35 bucks for a little t-shirt?! i just looked at the guy and walked out.. i thought that was just..wrong. even if i DID have more money than the average customer, i shouldn't have to pay more for a shirt than others. |
