At a Gala for the charity and it started off great when the ticket taker looked at me and cluelessnu and said: oh, your event is over there. Apparently we don't look rich enough
cluelessnu
Then when we confirmed we were at the right event she also just presumed we must in the wrong line as this was the VIP line.
cluelessnu
We were clocked as the 'poor' very quickly XD

She tried to say it was because we were wearing colour.

They just said boo not enough on an auction item someone bid 65,000 on (to be fair, it was a private yacht for 10 days vauled at like... I think it was 200k)

I should also stress this was the venue staff that tried to tell us we weren't VIP. It was NOT the charity staff
𝚏𝚊𝚒𝚝𝚑🍭
I'm trying to decide if that's a moment for using, "Do you know who I am?" And after they say they dont, you say, "Well, shit. I was hoping somebody could tell me."
Zigzag Stampede
Lol!!
Zigzag Stampede
Well, we're only VIP because my work is a major sponsor for the charity
Jemisaur
CHarity staff are generally A+ people. Not shocked it was the venue staff.

^^Yep.

WHELP

Still might be good feedback to the charity to raise with the venue, how they made their guest feel uncomfortable
Zigzag Stampede
Yup. I will. The woman was very apologetic afterwards - heck, it really might have been that Nu and I were dressed in colours for the puddle skipping event that was happening on the other side of the building
Zigzag Stampede
But if she really thought that the answer wasn't to go:

Hi, your event is over there.

It's:

Hi, this is the VIP entrance for the Variety Golden Gala. Do you have tickets?
Zigzag Stampede
I have no idea what the puddle skipping event was. Maybe even richer people were going to that and she thought we were super rich. (Hahah. Doubtful) It could legitimately not been a class thing.
Zigzag Stampede
But it certainly could come off that way
Zigzag Stampede
I also think she was pretty new. As she was having trouble with her ticket scanner as well
Zigzag Stampede
Like - user knowing how to use it trouble. Not machine malfunction
Zigzag Stampede
Actually, I looked up the Puddle Jumper event that was also happening in the centre last night. It is also a fancy thing with expensive tickets.
Gloomurai
yup, all it takes is a slight rewording to change the outcome of it, asking vs presuming
Gloomurai
also huh
Zigzag Stampede
I don't know anything about the puddle thing, but if their theme was green I will say I was wearing a green jacket
papermint tiger
yeah, jeez. Just politely ask to see tickets
papermint tiger
you never know, maybe you're super rich people and slumming it
Zigzag Stampede
Considering the cost of the tickets were over a hundred dollars for both events - it may not have been a class thing in the end.

But it's still funny to us and it's giving us a giggle
papermint tiger
at least you can laugh about it!
