Have you ever been ignored or treated poorly at a store? High end or lower end?

I have a tradition that every year on my birthday I treat myself to something nice. I've gone to higher end shops and have been ignored in favor of other customers. I've been steered to the sale/clearance section when I would be looking at full priced items. Helpful yes? Not when you keep being steered back and back and back. At those shops I make note and leave. If I am not seen as worthy of being there I won't give them any business. It doesn't matter how someone looks or who they are. You never know who may be willing to spend some money. The man who looks like a bum may be wealthy. The man who looks wealthy may be broke. You have no way of knowing.
