AFRICAN EQUALS MORE MONEY.......

 I went to a shop to buy an item. I was about leaving when I saw this brown eye shadow that caught my attention (My love for this colour though). I went ahead to look at it, then I saw it was on sales (who doesn't like a bargain!) this even prompted me to ask for a tester. But due to my indecisive nature and because it wasn't a priority, I decided to forgo it (mehn...the current exchange rate it's not even funny).

Some days later, I decided to go back and get it with the hopes that it will come in handy, which I did. When I got to the shop, it was a different sales personnel there. I took the item to the cashier, she calculated it and told me the original price not the discount price. I asked her why?? I even told her it was on sales but she still insisted on the original price. I told her I wasn't going to buy it at that price, so I left.

Mind you, there were no conditions for the sale (like time, date etc). So I was very sure it was on sale. There was no way I was going to buy it at that price when it clearly states that, 'it was on sale'. Guess what came to my mind? hmmm..... then I said to myself, 'don't be paranoid, everything doesn't have to be about my skin colour. In an attempt to make an excuse for her, I said to myself 'maybe it's a market strategy'. But we all know there is no such thing as that.

The detective in me wouldn't let it go. So I decided to go back there, making this my third time (all in the name of eye shadow lol). This time it was also a different person there. So I took the item to the cashier and I asked her how much it was and she sold it to me at the discount price

So you can imagine my dilemma now, what was her (2nd sales personnel) assumption? 

* Do you think it was an honest mistake?

* Do you think we have a flamboyant lifestyle? (that made her conclude that we are all wealthy)

I would like to know your thoughts on this. Have you had a similar experience? If so, kindly share.
