For me naman... I just love proving these people wrong... lol! But you're right... I’d do a pretty woman scene... shop elsewhere and go back but don’t buy anything . Simple vindication.
Iba talaga nagagawa pag celebrity ka, kahit the unfortunate event happened years ago na they still exerted effort to apologize, but if you're just an ordinary person shopping at a mall and experienced the same "Charge to Experience" na lang talaga ang ending.
Discrimination is everywhere. Fact. But it's good for our local celebrities to experience it once in a while esp abroad so that they're not out of touch with reality. Some of them already feel too entitled.
PR lang yan but they could care less. Major companies do that here in the US even with regular folks na nagcocomplain especially about being discriminated publicly sa media.
High end sales associates should remember, Customer is king. Kahit pa mukhang taga-bukid yang pumasok sa store nyo you’ll never know, sila pa pala yung mapera
Kami ng asawa ko nagtatrabaho sa bukid namin, pero mukha kaming mayaman. Greek asawa ko at ako naman ay mestisang pinay....So anong ibig mong sabihin na "mukhang tiga-bukid"???
2:06 yung malalapad At makakapal mga paa At kamay at suot e long sleeves na kamisa at nakashorts lang na me mga bahid pa ng putik at tae ng kalabaw sa mga binti....
2:06 AM - madaming "taga-bukid" na milyonaryo pero simple lang. literally they have dark leathery skin because of years they toiled under the hot sun. tapos simple lang damit na parang galing sa palengke, because probably dun nga lang nila binili. pero their kids and apos attended the best and most expensive private schools in the country and pag bumili ng sasakyan (big a$$ pickups and SUVs because yan ang uso sa probinsya) CASH. and yep, may kilala akong ganyan.
2:06 and 3:05 You’re detached from reality. Yung mga “taga bukid” that I’m referring to, I know them and have interacted with them. They have their own farms, mga new rich sila, but you can say they’re not keen on designer stuff - nor do they dress in your standard of fashion. Pero madami silang pera, CASH, and are willing to head down to Manila, go to a high end boutique and treat themselves every once in a while. They don’t look metropolitan like what you’re used to seeing. Get a grip. Go out and see the rest of the world every once in a while
sa japan,ung mga taga bukid yun ang mga galante, mas mapepera pa sila kesa sa mga naka tie and coat na customers, dahil lang sa nature of work nila, kaya simple lang sila manamit, pero sarili nilang farm ung pinagtatrabahuhan nila.
Ganyan din na experience namin ng mom ko sa Paris. Natuwa lang kami sa champs elysees kasi andaming designer shops yung mga sales assistant titignan ka talaga mula ulo hanggang paa.
Pag ako ang tiningnan ng sales lady from head to toe, I’ll do the same and ask her “how much do you make a year? Do you make six figures to look at me from read to toe?!” Hahaha
Sa UAE kapwa pinoy mo mismo mag discriminate pag pumuNta ka ng high end designer shop. Mas gusto nila tulungan westerner pero Hindi bumili. Ako bumili at ang sale assistant ay Eastern European.
Mdmi din naman kasing pinoy na ang kakapal, papasok sa mga high end shops sukat to the max magpapahanap pa ng size nila di naman afford at walang intensyong bumibili kc nga walang pambili, sukat parin ng sukat, kakahiya.
tama mga iba papasok mag feefeeling pa yang mga yan n tlga bbili.minsan kasma pa mga kaibgan masabi lang na mahilig sa designer pero d rin nman bbili. kaloka mga social climbers
Hoy mas malala ibang lahi sa ganyan. Kung ganyan mga salesperson maengkwentro ko guluhin ko tinda nila, magmukha talaga sila assistant pagayus paninda nila pagkatapos kung daanan yan. Inisin ko sila tse!
2:08 ay sus gawain naman talaga ng customer yan karamihan pa nga sa customer dito ayaw ng sinusundan kapag hindi mo naman pinansin sila pa galit. intindihin din natin minsan hindi rin biro trabaho nila na nakatayo ng 9hours pwera na lang sa ganitong case na nasa labas ka pa lang ayaw ka ng papasukin.
Dapat talaga me hiwalay na space at dun nakalagay na "SUKATAN" tapos kahit itapon na lang dun yung mga items at magulo para hindi na maabala pa mga sales agents
Oprah was discriminated while shopping in Switzerland too. She was about to buy a 38k USD bag pero ayaw ipahawak ng saleslady yung mga bag na gustong nyang bilhin kasi there were too expensive daw, lol, akala mo sa bulsa nila manggagaling ang pambili
Napanood ko yan,hindi lang siya sa Switzerland ayaw pagbilhan,pati ss LV ng Rome kasi hindi nila kilala si Oprah.Wala daw pambayad.Nakakaawa din si Oprah dahil ilang beses na na discriminate.
Maybe that was before, nowadays I noticed that they don’t discriminate like that.From Paris to US iyan,pasok ako sa mga high end stores and the SA are usually nice .I dressed simply too,Buti d ako ginanyan kasi I would simply walk away.I won’t even bother to prove myself na may pambili talaga ako.Parang ang saya naman nila nanginsulto na sila nagka business pa sila sa akin
True, kasi alam nila Asians (majority Chinese pero pati Pinoys who go abroad na din), na ang may malakas na spending power ngayon! Super accomodating and special treatment na nga sa Asians ngayon all over the world pag shopping e.g. Europe may mga special Chinese shopping assistants everywhere and UAE may special tax refund na for Chinese. Kaya lets enjoy our glory days now hehe wag payag na apihin
Hmm...asians care more about status. We actually put importance sa fact na others perceive us as someone who has money, sometimes to the point na people try to appear richer than they actually are, while westerners like americans don't give a crap whether people see their wealth or not, the only important thing is that they actually have wealth, doesn't matter who knows. It's not uncommon to see americans who only have one pair of shoes but have a lot of money invested in stocks.
Napanood ko na si Oprah mismo na ubod ng yaman,nakatikim ng discrimination sa LV sa Europe.Hindi nila nakilala hanggang tumawag yung manager ni Oprah at pinagbulhan sila ng bag.Binigyan pa sila ng wine nung sales clerk sa sobrang pahiya.
Kinwento yan sa isang episode ng Oprah.Gusto ni Oprah bilhin yung nasa estante para sa kaibigan.Pero ayaw ng sales clerk,nainis sila oprah and her team hanggang nagtawag ng manager.Pinaliwanag pa kung sino si Oprah biglang pinagbilhan na ng clerk.
Korek. Parang kailangan mag share din sya ng same experience para lang parehas sila. di ko ma feel ung sincerity nya sa mga interviews. parang promo lang lahat.
Tawa ako ng light dito. Si Shawie sinabihan lang na I'm not yet finished nung saleslady. Samantalang si Regine hinarangan sa pinto at hindi pinapasok sa store
Parang yung na-experience ng tita ko when the sales lady looked at her from head to toe. Tinignan din nya from head to toe tapos labas ng shop. Nakipagtarayan lang talaga sya kasi wala syang pera pambili. Masungit yun e! Hahaha.
Kaya ako, di nako nag ma mall or pumapasok sa mga store. I simply buy online. Kase mas mura talaga and idedeliver pa sa bahay mo. Basta alam mo lang talaga ang size mo. Gosh im only 22 and unemployed pero i feel so mature sa move ko na yan haha
Nangyari din sa akin iyan sa Singapore sa Chanel stores (Ngee Ann City Orchard Road at Marina Bay Sands) that same holiday namin. Sa Orchard Road, I was looking for earrings and necklace naman. The staff didn't entertain me. So, I told her I'm looking for earrings and necklace. Ang sabi ba naman sa akin, "It's expensive" and not showing me the items. So, I told her with my head held high, "I don't care how much it is if I like it, I'll buy it cash". The ending, I bought 2 bloody expensive earrings. Sabi ng guard sa akin after, "Ma'am don't be in the queue next time you comeback. Just come straight to me". Sa Marina Bay Sands naman, I went to look for necklace kasi I bought na mga 2 earrings as Orchard Toad. Di ako pinapansin mg mga staff at ang guard iba ang tingin. So, I went straight sa accessories area. Tumawag ko ang staff at sabi ko I'm looking for necklace. Aba at nag aalangan at sinabihan uli ako ng, "It's expensive" kaya same dialogue naman ang sagot ko. Then may nagustuhan ako at sabi sa akin limited edition daw 8 pcs lang sa Asia. Sabi ko, "I don't care. I like it and I'll buy it, CASH". Ayun at dinala kami sa VIP Room inalok ng drinks while waiting for our receipt. True, naka shorts, tshirt and Havaiianas lang.
To avoid any hassles from these high end stores, I simply asked my PA to book for an appointment so I can enjoy myself shopping without any troubles from low educated Sales Associate. Never turned up unannounced.
Husband experienced the same sa Espadrille in Podium. He asked for available sizes of a pair worth 3,500 as his anniversary gift for me. Sabi ni ateng saleslady, “hindi naka sale yan ha”. Sumagot ang mister ko, “buti naman, ikuha mo ako ng size 7 sa army green, brown, cream, dark blue tsaka pink. Cash.” š¤£ Hindi kasing magal ng LV ni Chona, pero, hello, kapwa Pinoy, sa pinoy na mall, sa pinas!!!
Flowers LANG damage control ng LV? Goes to show how little they indeed think of Pinoys. If she had used her star power and it had gone viral, irate liberal americans could really tarnish the brand’s image and drive sales down
Sa Venice, di ako pinansin ng Sales Rep inside an LV store. I understood coz I looked tired and unimpressive due to walking around the city the whole day. Meaning, hindi ako maporma na mukhang rich pero madami akong pera. I don't dwell on it
Ang mga pinoy din mismo numero uno mang decriminate kahit sa kapwa nila pinoy. Dito na nga lang sa pilipinas, di ka igi greet kung feeling nila di ka naman bibili talaga, tapos may papasok na foreigner, todo greet!
Maraming beses kasi yan nangyari kay Oprah,may sa Switzerland nung wedding ni Whitney Houston,then sa Rome sa LV naman.Meron pa dati sweater daw ayaw din siyang pagbilhan.
Never ko na experience ang discrimination kasi di ako pumapasok sa high end stores. Hanggang Coach Michael Kors lang ako. Pero pag wala talaga pambili bibili na lang ako ng taro bubble tea with tapioca. At least di ako umuwing luhaan busog pa ako.
Sa totoo lang Regine is more influential than she thinks she is. May mga reactions siya that reveals it. Siguro may fear of becoming a monster or getting criticized kaya she always tries to minimize or brush off compliments. Observation lang.
Sus lalu nyo lang pinayaman ang LV haha bumalik pala kyo s store para humakot..winner pa din ang LV naisahan kyo sanay kasi kyo na sinasamba dito sa pinas
Totoo. I've been on both ends as a customer and a sales associate but I never look down on anyone. My customers always thank me for treating them nicely so as a customer myself, I always expect the same. Good on Regine. Imbes na magtaray, nag-movie moment na lang. She saved her dignity while maintaing her class.
Gusto ko yung mga ganung eksena na bibili ka to prove them wrong. Kaya lang di kaya ng budget. Hahaha
ReplyDeleteTo me naman, if you get discriminated na buy from another store. Why give them the business e binastos ka na
DeleteFor me naman... I just love proving these people wrong... lol! But you're right... I’d do a pretty woman scene... shop elsewhere and go back but don’t buy anything . Simple vindication.
Deletecoz they're gullibles dahil they still patronize the store or brands kahit they have been treated as trash just to be in or for recognition
DeleteIba talaga nagagawa pag celebrity ka, kahit the unfortunate event happened years ago na they still exerted effort to apologize, but if you're just an ordinary person shopping at a mall and experienced the same "Charge to Experience" na lang talaga ang ending.
ReplyDeleteKasi madali maka kuha ng sympathy ng mga tao pag celebrity ka, kaya aksyon agad sila baka wala na bumili sa kanila ganern
DeleteDiscrimination is everywhere. Fact. But it's good for our local celebrities to experience it once in a while esp abroad so that they're not out of touch with reality. Some of them already feel too entitled.
ReplyDeleteGrabe ang liit ng tingin ng ibang lahi sa mga pinoy. Pero ang mga pinoy parang santo kung ituring ang ibang lahi .
ReplyDeleteThis. Tama ka. Which should not be the case.
DeleteAng Pinoy naman, maliit ang tingin sa kapwa Pinoy na sasabihan pa na Bisaya, probinsiyana, taga-bundok, ita, tsimay at kung ano-ano pa.
Delete1255 well.. some Pinoys kasi misbehave kaya nage genaralize tayo
DeleteKapag may nakita kang Pinoy na grupo kasi, maiingay na akala mo pasigaw laging magsalita.
DeleteCorrect.Kala lahat ng Pilipino can't afford.Kaya maganda din na kung minsan minsan lalo na sa ibang bansa,ipakita mo na hindi tayo basta basta.
DeleteHappened to Oprah too.
DeletePinoys get generalized kasi. Marami din kasi sa atin na may mga di magagandang record sa abroad. TNT, maingay as tourists, etc.
DeleteMay mga iba sa atin na kulang sa social graces.Sana magpakita din tayo ng magandang asal para hindi tayo bastusin ng iba.
DeleteSana sapatos pinadala š
