Have bags will travel

So a recent episode of a famous personality getting unbagged made headlines stateside.  As in not getting the bag.  As it happens this very rich and supposedly famous lady walks into a store in Switzerland and asks to be shown a bag.  The store keeper refuses to do so and utlimately the rich and famous lady has to leave bagless.   That must have created quite the vacuum in her heart.

But that is not the point.  The point is that people have baggage.  Even if they actually don't.  As in they think they come from a position of power or whatever and they expect other people to fall in line and suck up.  Regardless of what the scenario is rich people or poor people tend to treat other rich people or poor people respectively and without respect in a manner that is presumptuous.  They think you should make the effort to know who they are.  Clearly in this story neither appears to really know who they were dealing with.

All in all it was a fun story of chest beating on both sides of the Atlantic to show who really has the bigger bag - um - I mean who can bag their stupidity.

To me - I shop for the cheapest product out there with the belief that if you make some product that cannot do its basic job you will get decimated.  So to take the trouble to sell in a crowded market - whether its cars or bags or pencils you have to make the thing work.  If your expectation is to get some basic value out of the commodity then ignore the hype and just pick up a bag - any bag - go travel some - that will teach you - what is on the other side of the pond for example.
