Rich vs. Poor
Observation. Rich people complain about money at least as much if not more than poor people. Specifically relating to the high cost of things. Also, they complain differently about it. Rich people tend to complain in a "I know I'm getting ripped off" kinda way. For example, I just had a customer who was obviously very well off. She found a jacket for 40% off. I told her it was a good deal and she responded, "Maybe a good deal for you." Her response is by far not uncommon, but only among the affluent. Any thoughts as to why? I'm thinking maybe its because they know the game. They know people are getting ripped off on most consumer goods. It is just as likely they got rich from a company that was doing just that.Posted by wonko at June 28, 2003 01:31 PM
