Summary
A TikTok user, Maryyam Ghaffar, shared her experience at a Cartier store in Vancouver, where she claims she was treated differently by staff due to her outfit. She wore a Nike tracksuit and was initially hesitant to be helped, but after purchasing a diamond-covered watch, the staff’s behavior changed. Ghaffar believes that what you wear in-store matters, and her experience is supported by a 2015 study that found people wearing luxury items are perceived as wealthier and treated better. However, some commenters disagreed, sharing their own experiences of being treated equally regardless of their outfit.
