I also see the pain of some normal sales people during big shopping events, the Holland & Holland going out of business sale in NYC being the most notable.I don't blame him at all for not tripping over himself to promote the sale or to help sale-only customers. Even more than selling clothes, Louis is providing a service. During the sale, they are just selling clothes, and only because it is necessary. Customers should not expect royal treatment if they can't pay full price - the store simply cannot survive on a customer base like that. And I don't think anyone (except maybe the competition) would like Louis to go away.
Now how do I reconcile this, being the king of sale shoppers? Simple - I don't expect help from staff when I shop sales. I help myself, pay for what I select, and leave as quickly as possible - generally quite happy with my purchases. And having been to as many sales as I have, I will say that they are AWFUL. Everybody is on their worst behavior. I always feel very sorry for employees who have to work those days. Â
Just my 2 cents...
"Businessmen" have a uniform that can be roughly defined by that, but senators and congressmen are more specific: it's a navy or charcoal two-button sack-style suit with a center vent; a basic shirt, an Hermes necktie, black shoes (they love tassel loafers), and a modest wristwatch.
