<< Sometimes I wonder if I would get better service if I carried an it bag instead of a holographic Miu Miu bag (that no one recognizes anymore) (as I definitely see preferential treatment for those who do carry the it bags), >>
This is a fascinating observation. What instances have you noticed people getting better service due to their bag?
I am going to pay more attention to this now. The only personal instance I can think of where I may have been given better service due to my bag is when I was in a
Coach store carrying an LV bag. The SA was all over me and I figured it was because she saw the LV bag and figured I was a serious customer for another high-end bag. But outside of that, I can't think of any instance where I was given better service. In fact, quite the opposite -I think wearing expensive jewelry and clothing in venues where the price isn't set leads to being quoted higher prices.
