UPDATE: 'The store... treated me like I was not a potential client': Furniture store customer gets unfairly judged by employees, contacts manager to share their experience

People really do treat you differently depending on how attractive they find you. It makes a huge difference, actually! You've probably experienced this to some degree if you've ever gotten dressed up really fancy for an event, or walked around in a nice tux or some high heels. People act differently when you're dressed to the nines with a fresh haircut versus when you're rocking sweatpants, old Uggs, and a messy bun. 

This phenomenon is also easily identified when you're out shopping. If you're just bumming around, the sales folks will probably pay you no mind. They're going to be focused on the customers who look expensive… but it's not the best move to judge a book by its cover. 

When this shopper had a bad experience at a furniture store, they contacted a manager to explain. The manager did the right thing by apologizing profusely, and hopefully, it'll inspire a teachable moment for his staffers. 

Next, read the hilariously philosophical questions that students wanted answered when their school banned phones, like one kid who asked, "Am I permitted to use smoke signals to communicate?"
