"Yes, Ma'am, I understand that you are looking for a Canada Goose jacket. They are right over here. Yes, they are the best down-filled jackets available on the market." (Why is the stereotype for a CG jacket buyer so set? Swedish Finn. Loaded with money. Brand-conscious. Sometimes with horrid fake tan.)
"No, we don't accept reservations or put these jackets on hold. There is such a large demand that it's first come, first served. You'd like to try the S size? Ok, let me undo the security lock. Yes, these are so valuable we do keep tight track of them." (The black ones go right away. Bubble gum pink and Turquoise are still waiting to be snatched up.)
I can understand that people want top quality. But it seems a bit much when you have to call from another country to ask when the shipment will arrive. And the craziest instance...For one lady customer, a certain model of the women's CG jacket didn't have a visible enough logo for her liking!!
Dear customer, go spend some time in a third world country where children beg for food and live in the dump. Then rethink your money spending habits and how you find your sense of worth! Would appreciate that, thanks.

I know exactly what that means...
Greetings from Venezuela
That's so true..!!! People think they can find their sense of worth by wearing expensive clothes.. What would they be without them? -Hömmi
Hola Carlos!
Vi tus fotos de Venezuela y tu cumple! Felicidades, por cierto! Y que pais mas bonito!! Pero igual como en el Ecuador, la contradiccion es la riqueza de la naturaleza con la pobreza y la corrupcion de la sociedad...
Hömmiseni, I wonder if some people would have a breakdown if they were stripped of their clothing brands. Or make-up. Or gadgets. Or work. So many things define us, or we trust in so many things to find worth, and in the end, do they even last? no.
