So why surprised or confused? What's the big deal? So salespeople should only wear what everyone can wear?

Finally! A post about an AD having a hard-to-get model available so customers can see them in person!

I don’t know if most agree with you on the expression. A “surprise” is a bit more indifferent than a “WTF” which almost always has negative connotations. You also then went on to make a string of assumptions.

If the situation didn’t upset you, that’s great! My initial comment applies if it did. Either way though, whether you were just surprised and/or upset I don’t agree with your assumptions or making assumptions in general.

Maybe there is a generational difference with regards to the use of "wtf", it is just an everyday saying when typing.

I don't think it is much of an assumption to assume that the watch was bought from her place of employment, the staff discount was just speculation.

It could be her sig. other’s watch. Even if it’s hers, I wouldn’t be surprised either.

Although likely it is still an assumption, and it’s also an assumption to assum this sales rep cut the line or the AD did something wrong to allow an employee to buy the watch while other customers are still waiting.

You’re fighting nail and tooth to defend yourself here. I’m not gonna argue with you anymore. I don’t agree with the tone of your OP, I don’t agree with the assumptions you made and I don’t agree with your defense of it all.

This is just a waste of time at this point. Good luck to you!

Get your shit together people...

You are showing hate towards other people over some material stuff.
Exactly

The faux outrage over expensive high end luxury jewelry is sad

Why?

Could have been a gift, could have come from a trade-in, could have come from a grey dealer.

Everything about your trollish post is speculation, perhaps you should rethink your priorities

What priorities are you referring to?
