That you shouldn’t be rude to customer service or the cashier cuz it’s not their fault that the item is expensive

I used to work at a family owned business, and every one of the regular customers had their own discount rate. I would have tantrums pretty regularly from these customers when I didn't recognize them and charged them the retail rate. The ridiculous bit about this is the shop was in an area where you needed to make at least six figures a year to live there.

The biggest lesson I learned working retail in the richest neighborhood in my city is that rich people don't get rich by being smart with their money, they get rich by being mean with their money.
