Flashermac Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 If I had asked to see the bag, I'm sure I would have been told I couldn't afford it. Does that mean the Swiss look down on white folks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted August 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 But that's the point, coss - she was 'just a black woman' to them : an expensively dressed black woman with bodyguards (my assumption, but surely she has minders ..), but a black woman nonetheless. I guarantee that she would have known who Michael Jackson was, and that *definitely* would have made the news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 That happens to be that town where Swiss superstar Tina Turner lives. Maybe she is "just a black woman" too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean the Swiss look down on white folks? White folks without money - fuckin' A. I've mentioned previously that I plan to dress like some sort of caricature of a playboy millionaire before I go anywhere near a Meridian Audio showroom in Bangkok - I just dont enjoy withering looks from people who I know are lucky to be earning the equivalent of minimum wage in Australia (the owners excepted). We have similar people here in Oz - they get 'trade discounts' on designer labels, know a little about fashion and suddenly consider themselves the demigods of retail .... wankers.

Flashermac Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 For those who didn't notice it, "I have to admit that the employee is Italian." That explains any "rudeness". p.s. One of the wealthiest Farangs I know in LOS dresses no differently than I do. So much for going by attire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 My free family mart plastic bag does me just fine, and who would think of pinching it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
think_too_mut Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Well, having not watched TV since 1990. I may only say I could tell a basket from a bag better than who that character "oprah" is. All baskets in this truckload, thousands, would not be worth 350$, a mere 1% of that single bag.
