This one time, I visited an Apple store at an upscale mall to pick up a laptop (needed urgently, I damaged the previous one by spilling a drink on it). However, I happened to be dressed to the max because of a fancy event that I was returning from. I carried the Apple-branded bag with me while seeing if I could buy some miscellaneous clothing (T-shirts and underwear) while there.

It is ridiculous how much more attention I got from every shop attendant throughout the mall that day, compared to my usual comfortable cargo shorts and T-shirt look.

That "experiment" still makes me sad. We treat humans like garbage if they don't look rich enough.
