Brands

Brands have been around us for a long time. It seems that brands play a big part in society. It can show status and has power. I have friends who would buy products just because the brand is popular. For example, Louis Vuitton is a very expensive brand. I have seen many people buying their product. I, myself cannot afford to buy one. I would want one, but they are very expensive. I remember walking into the store with a friend of mine. He is high class and is use to buying expensive brands like Louis Vuitton. I wore a sweat shirt and jeans into the store, while my friend was wearing expensive brand clothing. He wanted to return his wallet and I followed along. While he was talking to the store keeper, I was walking around the store looking at the bags. The security guard kept following me and watching my every move. I felt uncomfortable, so I would walk around the whole store. Soon enough, one of the employee walked up to me and ask if I needed some help. I told her that I was fine and looking around. The lady gave me a disgusted look and walked to the security guard whispering in his ear. They both looked at me and I felt uncomfortable. I sat down at one of sofas and waited for my friend till we left. I believe that because of the way I dressed walking in the store they believed that I was about to steal. Because I was not dressed in fancy brand clothing they kept on watch. I was also treated rudely from the employees. I still remember everyone in the store was dress in branded clothing. The ladies would have Prada or Gucci bags. Even though the ladies said that they were looking around, the employees were very kind. I thought it was unfair they way I was treated, just because I did not have an expensive brand on me.
