lisa's snobby ... well actually shes the most crude and easy to get a long with snob i've ever met ... but shes still a snob because i've seen her house and she must be a snob to live there


i know what you mean though lavender hotels are the worst lisa was booking us into a very posh hotel in london and they thought she was making a crank call because she has a young'ish sounding voice ... she made him get the manager and she laid into the manager who made the first guy apologize i think we got a discount on our room too


she may have a young sounding voice but it can become wickedly spiteful too

Many snobby people (SP) are *really* afraid someone will find out that their father was a drunk or thier Aunt Mattie is that crazy lady who keeps 100 cats in a small house out past the library or that they didn't, as a matter of fact, go to prep school. Most snobby people are deathly afraid you'll find out that one thing about them that will not allow them to be better than you anymore. I've lived among snobby people all my life; i know thier habits well.

Snobby establishments (SE), now, are another story. They exist to pander to the fervid fantasies of snobby people regarding them (the SP) being better than the rest of us. If you don't *look* as they expect you to look, the worker bees in the SE's will turn their noses up at you - even if that individual worker bee goes home to a single wide trailer and Kraft Mac N' Cheese eaten out of the pan.

It's actually kinda fun to go into a SE (the Sonoma Mission Inn, for example, where i've spent many a long weekend) NOT dressed "properly" - and then flash the haughty desk clerk a no-limit credit card or a well-honed snobbier-than-thou attitude.

No one can intimidate you unless you allow it.
Ever.

No one is better than you because they have more money or things than you do.
Ever.

And Lavy? Aren't you getting ready to become a full-fledged member of the "power and monetary structures" in this country? Isn't that why you were there, to interview your way into it? You're not going to go snobby on us if you get it, are you?

I live in a country that has a more class ridden structure than almost any place on earth, I deal with it by not playing the game when ever I can.

Agreed. My husband and I are looking for a new car and looked at a 911 Carrera today. Only the new sales rep would talk to us, presumably because we were both in jeans and polos. After running a credit check, the general manager came out with the keys and left us alone on our test drive. He told us the sales staff isn't even allowed to drive that car. There was something extremely satisfying about the sheepish looks on the other reps' faces.

Service Industries

There is a decidedly laissez faire (sp?) attitude within all service industries nowdays. I've walked up to a check-out counter in a retail store before with at least $400 worth of clothes in my arms and had to wait on the clerk to finish her personal phone call.

I waited in line at McDonalds for 20 minutes about 2 months ago and when I finally got my son's happy meal, I pointedly looked at the woman running the window and said.. "I thought you might apologize for my long wait" She didn't even crack an apologetic grin.

Last night I went to dinner at Ruby Tuesday's and asked politely: "Would you bring me an ashtry when you get the time?" and he said... "When I get the time, yeah." And of course, didn't bring it.

Not being greeted, not being thanked, hearing the grocery store clerks discussing who is boinking whom in the store is commonplace today.

Lavy, it isn't just snobbery. Sometimes it is simply that the people who work in these positions are lazy, disinterested and basically put-out by those they supposedly serve.

The end results in such situations are often very satisfying revenge on these people for their attitudes. It is an interesting comment that the snobby people in snobby estabilishments may dress in a suit, work for a fancy establishment or sell fancy cars, but they will go home to their trailer park in a 10 year old car. They can't afford a job where they don't have to dress up.

Yet, OTOH, people who do have the money often don't need ostentatious displays of wealth such as nice clothes or a nice car. An interesting twist.

Those of you who say they like to flash a no-limit card or wonder where "those" kind of people get off being snobby are essentially displaying snobbish attitudes yourselves. Think about it.

TN vixen i can understand what your saying but the store i work in just about every staff member (except one guy) breaks their back to give good service

i dont particular like my job very much but the only thing that keeps me going is that i can excel at helping someone beyond perhaps what they expect ... otherwise the day is pretty boring but always always busy ... something customers dont always realize there is a lot to do in a store apart from serving customers ... customers always come first though

Oh, I'm not saying that service is non-existant... just that it isn't generally a priority in today's world.

I break my back giving good service too. If I didn't, I wouldn't retain any of my accounts. ;-)

You just managed to prove his point with YOUR snobby attitude. It is obvious that your self esteem is tied to material possessions and your bank account. Why make assumptions about people driving ten year old cars and living in a trailor? That is VERY snobbish and you have no idea what their net worth is. And your statement, "They can't afford a job where they don't have to dress up." Since when did you have to buy a job? And seems to me to be the other way around.

I know many low-income people and I will take them anyday over a snob that thinks his value is in the amount of money he earns. These are called Plastic People. Are you one?

Y'know, re-reading this comment makes me realize it could be misconstrued.

Snotty, rude, and lazy employees are usually working for companies who treat them like dirt. They don't get it, and probably never will. But it works both ways. Companies who value and respect their employees and understand their front-line people are the most important ones in the company don't have snotty, rude, and lazy people working there. There are always exceptions, but if the company walks the walk, the employees will talk the talk.

 

[sexy-girl]

i agree with you 100% there miles ... hmmm i never thought i'd be saying that

Sure it is snobby - I can give as well as I get.

I don't normally treat people in a snobby manner unless they start it themselves. If you look at the list of jobs I have done in my other thread you will see I worked in manual labor for much of my adult life. For a major part of it I was desperately poor not making over $5k a year being unemployed much of the time.

I am proud of the fact that I worked my way up by myself, and I don't need some person in a suit behind a hotel lobby desk, or in a car dealership, or in some Radio Shack givng me attitude because he/she has to dress nicely to keep his/her job.

I always treat people nicely, asking please and saying thank you regardless of what job they have (or don't have), or how they dress, and I expect the same from them - because I have been there and probably a lot worse. When someone turns up their nose at me, I turn it up right back.

One of the people I learned some important life lessons from was a itinerant farm worker who worked on my family's farm. He had a grade school education, and was an alcoholic, but he was the hardest working person we had on the farm, he was injured in the Spanish American war (yes, he was that old), and his wife was the kindest and most generous person I have ever known. He drove an old junker car and never had nice clothes.

When people get all snobbish about how they look or what they own, I like to point out the hypocrisy. So yeah, I can be snobbish too - and proud of it.

In case you haven't got my point yet, when people whip out there unlimited credit cards, etc., and gloat in the look they get from people who have treated them in a snotty/snobby manner, it is not because we are really snobby ourselves, it is because the look on their faces or the instant change in attitude only points out how shallow these people are, and it is fun to rub their noses in it.

It is showing them that not only are we better because we are more considerate and treat people according to how they treat us, but we are better in those measures that they hold to be important - wealth and status.

I am not "plastic", but when someone tries to play wealth and status power games, I can hold my own. The people I really respect are those with intelligence, wisdom, courtesy, respect and kindness - regardless of wealth or power.

 

[letsallgetlaid]

When ever I have a problem with someone like credit card, phone, cable, hotel, whatever, I always am as nice as I can be to the people I talk to. It's usually not their fault. Very rarely is it there fault.
And it works, being nice to these people, it's just their job geeze!
If I have a problem it is cleared up right away and many times I get the people to give me credits on my accounts.
And we all feel better afterward.

This is what I based my post on, not the quote that you referred to.

"It is an interesting comment that the snobby people in snobby estabilishments may dress in a suit, work for a fancy establishment or sell fancy cars, but they will go home to their trailer park in a 10 year old car. They can't afford a job where they don't have to dress up. "


THAT is a sterotype and very snobbish!
