This is especially true in cases where people work on commission. I'd rather avoid the amazing moment just to make sure that the snobby staff didn't get a dime of my money!


..that being said, it would be interesting to see
If you've seen the movie, this is actually the essence of the Pretty Woman moment. They wouldn't wait on her, she ended up shopping at another store, and went back to the first store with all her bags and showed them the commission they missed.

There are ways of letting people know their assumptions are wrong without rewarding them for those bad assumptions.
