There are ways of letting people know their assumptions are wrong without rewarding them for those bad assumptions.
Yes.. have seen the movie, but I answered the way I understood the OP's question.
My best story was years ago when I went into the now bankrupt Circuit City to buy a computer. I was dressed down (probably sweatpants if I can remember correctly..)and had small kids with me. I couldn't get anyone to pay attention to me to save my life and I really tried. I finally asked for the manager, let him know what had happened. When he apologized and offered to get someone to help, I respectfully let him know that I would not spend money there. I just wanted him to know why I was leaving the store and that there might be others that do the same and don't tell him.
Needless to say I was very happy when they went out of business!
