Never assume that someone can’t afford to shop in your store, or eat at your restaurant, whatever… based on what they look like.
That very thing happened to Luke Combs when he was trying to buy his very first Rolex in New York City a couple of years ago. In an interview with iHeart, Luke recalled the time he went to pick up his first Rolex, a gesture to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather, and the staff iced him.
“I was about to play Madison Square Garden with Aldean and the lady told me at the store, I asked for this specific model of watch, and she was like, ‘oh, well you can’t just get those.’ So I told her, ‘it’s fine, I can go get it somewhere else. I’m playing Madison Square Garden tonight and I really wanted to wear it on stage.’”
Naturally, she changed her tune… and managed to “find one in the back” for Luke to purchase.
Have you ever been pre-judged in a store? If so, what happened?
