Seriously acted like a whore?
Is it ok to discriminate then? You get ignored by a sales person simply because you're wearing a shirt and a pants is ok? Totally your fault because you failed to impress the sales associate eh?
Sorry but no ego was bruised, he merely called the management attention. Driving with his second option did get their attention alright, betcha that sales associate will not discriminate potential buyer next time.

A whore in reference to the character of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. That was exactly what your boss did only with a car.
Personally if an SA ignores me, I would not make any effort to prove a point. Customers are mere numbers to them. And so they lost one, no big deal.Last edited by _Cathy_; October 30th, 2014 at 12:09 AM.

Just like in the movie "Pretty Woman" where the character of Julia Roberts goes into a shop and was told to get out. Later with bags of designer items in hand she passes bynthe same shop and asks the same sales lady if she gets paid by commission, then tells her she made a big mistake shooing her away.

I'd say it is although I personally never experienced it during my visit last year. I wore cheap Wal-Mart shorts, t-shirt, and shoes. No watch and no phone although I always had my laptop backpack with me.
Good thing too. I have my mom's temper. If someone decided to look down on me (eg downright rude), I would've slapped down that person hard.
I also didn't have issues at airports or coming back to the US. Oh well. I probably didn't look like the typical Filipino, anyway. Even here in the US, most Pinoys think I'm Hispanic or something.
In a couple of (Fil-Am) parties, the guests stopped talking when I showed up. They stared and started whispering among themselves. One Filipina even remarked out loud to my wife that she didn't know her hubby was Mexican. Then after my wife explained everything, they all smiled and said welcome.
At the other party, they mistook me for Puerto Rican.Last edited by Jun aka Pekto; October 30th, 2014 at 12:55 AM.

It's no big deal compared to what your boss did just to prove a point. His action reeked of insecurity.
