[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe people making $200K a year really think it's OK to benefit from other people's charitable donations.

I would like you to call up any thrift store and ask if they have a general preference that only people of x-income level threshold shop there.  [b]I just went in one today wearing my expensive jewelry [/b]so the cashier had to know I wasn't poor.  Oh - the horrors![/quote]

Tacky.[/quote]

Wearing jewelry that costs a lot is tacky?  You need a hobby.[/quote]

It's pretty obvious that wasn't the PP's point.[/quote]

Actually, I didn't get the point either.  I'm following the thread and as I understood it the issue was that one with sufficient income should not shop at thrift stores and if one does, he/she should feel bad about it.   Then the poster noted that she was clearly wearing jewelry enough to flag her to an employee of a thrift store who would otherwise not know she was well off.  What is tacky about that?  I tend to agree that anyone who wants can shop at a thrift shop and WHO CARES where someone else shops?  I could care less if someone with a lot of money shops at a thrift shop and then gets in her Mercedes or if someone who is poor shops at Nieman's.  [/quote]
