    So anyways my hubby loves to buy jewerly for me,he even has a favorite jewely store.Last year he bought me this.http://www.kay.com/webapp/wcs/stores....15056.15102So for our 7th annivesary.So he gives me a pandora booklet and tells me to pick out what I wanted and he would order it for me for christmas.So I have the booklet on my desk at work and I've noticed something. I look up as I'm ringing in the customers stuff and they are looking at me up and down and then looking at my pandora booklet.Then they give me that well you can't ever afford that look.What the Hell.Do they think because I work in retail that I'm living in a box?

      I was hanging out with a friend one day, and he wanted to go into a high-end jewlery shop because he's got a thing for watches. So while he goes and looks at those, I just hang around the enterance and look at the pretty stuff in the cases. One of the employees asked if they could help me with anything, so as a lark, I asked the price of a ring in the case. It didn't look anything too special, though it did look nice. The lady actually managed to take me seriously, nothing like described in the OP, and it turns out the thing was over $10k. I'm pretty sure I turned white, and then stammered out a thank you. I realized how far over my head I was and "non-chalantly" (re: damned fast) got out of there until my friend was done. And the whole time they managed to look polite.

      The point of that story? If they can treat a (at the time) 23 year old dressed in street casual like that, why couldn't the people in CSG's story keep it together? Buncha pricks.

        Didn't you know, everyone that works retail is not smart enough to budget their money or get a 'real' job. Therefore you shouldn't want anything nice, let alone be able to afford it.

          I don't think I would be so mad about this but....
          I've had grown woman as I'm waiting on them autually grab my hand and look at the ring metioned in the story and say.
          "how did you get that ring?"(no kidding)
          I usually give them my biggest slack jawed smile and say in my most hick style voice.
          Well I rans into the fancy store and stoles it. They just give me that well I never look and walk off. I mean really they really think we are just peaons.

              it's like the line from Evita....

              "No we wouldn't mind seeing her in Harrods...
              but behind the jewelry counter, not in front!"
