FASHION PULIS: Halted modus

Published Mar 25, 2023 04:03 am
Frequent customers of a high-end store might be wondering why the staff seems to have younger sales attendants. Moreover, the senior staff, some of whom were already hired during the initial opening of the store, are no longer around. The reason for the change is indeed disappointing. For luxury item enthusiasts, owning sought after bags brings prestige and a sense of pride. However, purchasing such prestigious items is not easy for ordinary customers. Only an elite group, the VIPs, is given the privilege of seeing and given the option to buy ahead of everyone. Stores usually have a private room for showing the quota bags to the VIPs. This privilege is earned and determined by the store. In addition, purchase loyalty matters. So, why the change in staff? The higher ups noticed something was amiss as their sought-after quota bags ended up online. The situation smelled fishy. Investigation was able to piece out the modus that allegedly involved the senior staff and an online seller. The seniors used the names of the VIPs as the buyers for the quota bags.
A few casual phone calls to the real VIPs indicated they never purchased the said items at all. Boom. The connivance was out and management made the decision of getting rid of staff who violated company policies. Their actions deprived VIP clients of purchasing the limited items designated as quota bags. Consequently, the effect can negatively affect the reputation of the prestigious company. ‘When you choose an action, you choose the consequences of that action. When you desire a consequence you had damned well better take the action that would create it.’ ― Lois McMaster Bujold Unrequited, no more Comments on the lives and actions of celebrities via social media from netizens often create an image that other netizens assume to be true. Often, celebrities who have been subjected to negativity can only say that those bashers really have no understanding of the truth behind the story. By contrast, other celebrities choose to file cases when they are bullied too much. Nonetheless, when bashers started calling Female Celebrity (FC) as desperate for pining for the attention and love of Handsome Personality (HP), she chose the higher road. Instead of using social media to speak of the truth, she kept the secret to a limited circle. FC confided to Someone Close (SC) to HP that he is her constant visitor and textmate. As a supporter of HP, SC was happy that HP might finally be moving towards his forever. Meanwhile, FC has also revealed to a close mentor about HP’s visiting her and texting her even if he’s busy with his commitments. SC has been asked several times concerning the status of FC and HP. SC answered that not only is FC the source of the story, as a bodyguard of HP has confirmed his boss’s dropping by FC’s place. If the two were indeed an item, their admission could finally stop bashers from tagging FC as a desperate woman pining for unrequited love. ‘Keep expecting and believing that your due season is coming.
