Over the summer, back when everyone was more concerned with the price of gas than the government deficit or the economic health of our country, I stood behind a woman at a cashier cage at a Wal-Mart gas station. The thing I found remarkable was that, while the lady was dressed very plainly in her nylon knit pants and black, soft-soled, service shoes, she had a Louis Vuitton purse hooked on her arm. The bag looked large and expensive and I studied it closely to see if it was counterfeit. After all, the woman didn’t look wealthy and a bag like that can run, I’m told, around $1000.
As far as I could tell, the purse looked like a real Louis Vuitton. You see, I had plenty of time to study the handbag. The woman in front of me kept trying to pay for the gas with credit cards. She handed the cashier three different kinds only to be told by the man behind the counter, “The card company tells me I should confiscate it.” And he chuckled lightly as he handed the last card back to her.
