      it wasnt the best. I am sure it’s because I have tattooes and was dressed in trackies and a T-shirt and hoody.

      @@AaronTerenceHughes Very recognizable. If I'm just being comfortable, as in not dressed up and wearing make-up, the sales people often look suspicious at me; like what am I doing in the store? My 'dressed up with makeup' version gets a total different approach. Super shallow and ignorant of people! Sorry you had this experience.

    Another great review Aaron , I don’t know this house , I can relate to the reaction of being ignored because of the way you look as I am disabled and a wheelchair user . The way I cope with this is direct eye contact with the person it helps sometimes it’s a shame some people have no manners you never judge a book by it’s cover .

    Aaron I had a similar experience at the Byredo counter at the sacks store in NYC. The lady at the counter was chatting with three other employees when I walked up to the counter and she peeled herself away from her conversation to ask me if I needed help. I told her I wanted to try a fragrance (can't remember which one). The whole time she helped me with one scent she carried on a conversation with her coworker and immediately walked away after I tried one scent. Naturally, it made me feel bad and I walked away from the counter too. I felt like making a complaint but I'm too lazy to go through all the trouble.

    I find it kind of ironic that people selling fragrances are looking down on the people who create them. Without people like you, these people wouldn't have that career and would be removed from their pedestal. Oh well. We can't change people. We can only be the people that we would love to encounter. Keep up the great work sir! I've been buying quite a few of your fragrances and am thoroughly impressed and look forward to trying others.

    Aaron...since you're introverted, are you _sure_ that the way you interpreted that situation was correct? It was your experience, so you could of course read it better than I could, but based on what you're saying, maybe the people simply recognized you and shared it amongst themselves, with no intent to be rude. I think today what you experienced, based on the tatts or whatever, is _fairly_ rare, at least it is in my area of western New York.
    If it was what you interpreted, sorry you had to deal with it; the vast majority of people are accepting of others. And just to get this out there, I lean fairly hard right politically, and I know I speak on behalf of every righty I know as well (that we accept people readily), as desperate as the left is to always paint us otherwise. In that sense, actually not too far removed from what you experienced, we experience as a group.
    Getting close to 50k subs...been with ya since under 2,000...cheers!
    OH P.S.!...SPEAKING OF the above...I will leave you a short story soon of holiday shopping last month, meeting a stranger, and we discussed youtube; he as familiar with your content as I am. And he likes you as much as I do. ;)
