I’ve mentioned before that I sat on top of a scaffold in a bike shop for a week doing a mural. It was interesting to be the proverbial fly on the wall, and see the different ways that different employees interacted with different customers. There were variables everywhere- time of day, personal or by phone, male or female, kind of bike rider, general personality of the employee, general personality of the customer… it was a subtle dance, each interaction unique.
Intangible bonus aspect of snob appeal retail items- being treated like hot snot. And passively-aggresively being pushed around.
We all want the cool stuff… the rare stuff… even the unique stuff. That stuff? Expensive. And, even if money’s no object? Possibly impossible to get. Maybe it doesn’t exist. Of course, that negates a lot of the shopping that the famous and wealthy are doing, so don’t let on.
