        Sure, but in those stats we’re talking households making $100-$150K a year, who are not going to drop $27K on a bottle of whiskey lol

          If the customer base skews wealthier, you’re going to have more people shopping there that are pulling in $500k+ annually, and probably a handful that are pulling in over $1M. If you only have one bottle in that price range, but you have 100 members at a given location that have enough income where that seems like a reasonable purchase, then you’re probably going to be able to sell it.

      The very wealthy do shop at warehouse clubs, Walmart, etc. You won’t see them being walking advertisements for clothing lines, either. They do buy quality clothing, but they aren’t overtly branded, unless they’re casual, work or sports clothing. They may drive nice cars, many will own a regular 90s model Pontiac or something. They also don’t plan their money for years, rather in centuries. There’s a difference in behavior and attitude between old money and nuveau riche, as well.

        The very wealthy are also petulant little pigs who clad themselves in designer clothing, diamonds, and gold. Who literally clutch pearls and hiss at minorities. Who support genocides and drive drunk on public roads after their racist little evening gatherings.

        Let’s stop pretending these ghouls are valid human beings. Entire Royal families have been terminated for having less relative wealth to the workers than todays ruling class.

          They are human beings, these are human behaviors, and it’s not “no true human would…” Of course they would, and easily, too. My only point was to highlight differences in our concepts of wealth, and theirs.

          Entire Royal families have been terminated for having less relative wealth to the workers than todays ruling class.

          Indeed.
