What’s in a brand

 


 

So the other day I went to a warehouse to buy groceries, and yes you can buy stuff straight from a warehouse it’s cheaper . Just not as convenient as supermarket. So there was an old man there who I knew, he was wearing an old shirt and a rubber slippers , you would have never guessed he was actually a millionaire who was running the whole operation. We made some small talk , he knew my family, and after a short time this man calculated my house hold income me and family combined. Man did not skip a beat. Did it in his head like it was second nature to him. I was a bit taken aback to tell you the truth. Then there were the porters men carrying all these heavy bags like human mules , I remember this one Venezuelan man slick hair cut and a brand name shoes . I think it was an expensive Nike actually. Reminds me of another time I was putting out the trash and the garbage man came out also wearing a Nike . Makes you wonder how people save invest and what they spend their money on . A little food for thought.
