In China, my family is near the middle class, not very rich. I did not know much about cosmetics and luxury products before high school. Although I did not buy them often, an experience after high school made me feel that people have very different attitudes towards different classes. I also know that this phenomenon is very common.

I remember when I was in the 10th grade, my friends led me to pay attention to makeup and my dress. It is just to understand these in the beginning, and then to prepare these materials. The experience of buying materials fully reflects everyone’s class status. Since I was buying cosmetics for the first time, I found my friend to accompany me. When I first went in, there were not many people in the store. The shopping guide just glanced at us and then followed us. During our purchase process, there was very little communication, and the shopping guide did not recommend it as enthusiastically as other people said, for example, when we saw something, someone would recommend it with that thing. When we asked some questions, she also simply answered, such as whether there is inventory, or whether it is suitable for me. However, I liked that kind of situation, not too much or less. I think that situation is comfortable for me.

Later, there was a woman came who seems to be like a wealthy class. Although I didn’t see her wealth at that time, my friend told me that her clothes and pants were expensive. And that person was followed by two shopping guides. Although they were not as exaggerated as in the movie, their enthusiasm was real. Even in the end the lady bought only two goods, but the cashier carefully packaged and decorated each one. I did not know that whether the woman asked or the cashier chose to, but their attitude was different. Compared to that woman, those who looked like working-class people later did not have the shopping guide. I had a shopping guide to ask, but they had to find the shopping guides for helping. It was not a big difference, but it was about the attitude. For this experience, I found that it is easy for people to know their social status by looking the attitude of the shopping guides. Also, for some store, not only for the store that I went, they would not even let people in if their clothes is not clean.

I did not envy the service of the woman, and I felt a little stressed about that, but I did not like the way they treat working-class and poor people. This was the first time that I feel that differences in social status affect people in all aspects of life. I know that this kind of phenomenon appears in many different way and different place.
