Incredible! It’s sometimes very tempting to answer something rude to these rude persons! Although I know the receptionist at my work didn't mean to be. She probably wanted to show me she could recognise jewellery (even if she had to look it up online!) and wanted to chat and try to bond. But she certainly needs manners lessons! Glad you don’t have to see your tactless coworker!I had similar experience with a co-worker.
"Wow you carrying luxury bag to work" It was a Loewe mini gate not even that high key loud.
"Wow Chanel J12! How much did that cost? Why didn't you get a Rolex instead"
Following week she came to my office (we located in different office), again commented on my jewellery.
Thank goodness I don't have to see her again.
