Cannot be Priority

Sometimes, certain celebrities take advantage of their status by making people around them feel their sense of entitlement. Worse, such behavior belies the positive oncam image of the said celebrities. While a celebrity might be exuding good behavior offcam, the opposite might be true when he/she moves around in public places.

When Accomplished Personality (AP) went shopping with his Non-showbiz Girlfriend (NG), they made heads turn. After all, AP has been in the entertainment industry for quite a time, and thus, is familiar. Moreover, AP has been open with his relationship with NG, who is a looker herself. Hence, they look good together.

Expecting that he would be prioritized, AP became agitated when the sales personnel were not giving him enough attention. At that time, other customers were ahead of AP. Hence, these people were attended to ahead of AP. A line was formed, and whoever is first, gets to be served first. In the case of AP, he seemed to have wanted to simply be given VIP status.

Nonetheless, AP continued with his rant and raised his voice at the personnel. His behavior made customers feel uneasy, and when he was recognized, they felt disappointment. AP has a jovial image and his followers love him for his cool performances. His behavior in the store was unexpected. Worse, he was making it appear that the store staff was holding him, and thus, he would be late for his appointment. His attitude did not work, as the staff served customers in order. While the bad attitude of AP continued, NG remained quiet and did not add to the tension between AP and the store staff.

Perhaps, AP should be reminded that celebrities like him are often treated fairly by high profile stores. Hence, unless the store has guidelines, anyone who wants goods or services has to wait patiently. One has to respect the fact that other customers came earlier and thus, should be served ahead. Besides, no one should scream at the staff for no valid reason at all.
