The following is a true story told with a mix of irony and reality.
Ferrari is an iconic Italian luxury sports car manufacturer, renowned for its high-performance vehicles and racing heritage. Founded in 1939 by Enzo Ferrari, the company has established itself as a symbol of speed, prestige, and craftsmanship. Ferrari produces exclusive, powerful cars that blend cutting-edge technology with sleek design, consistently pushing the boundaries of automotive innovation. Beyond their road cars, Ferrari has a storied history in Formula 1 racing, where they’ve enjoyed immense success, earning numerous championships and cultivating a passionate fanbase worldwide.
Ferraris are synonymous with style and class, a reflection of their creator, Enzo Ferrari, who prioritised elegance above all else in his cars. The company even goes to court to maintain the integrity of their vehicles, preventing modifications that stray from their original design. So it’s baffling why one gentleman believed he could purchase a Ferrari dressed in a tracksuit.
This scenario resembles the concept of “Pretty Woman,” depicted in movies and TV shows. In upscale stores, staff may favour sharply dressed customers over those dressed less elegantly. While not justifiable, Ferrari is unapologetic about their emphasis on style, something a tracksuit lacks.
Considering the instance where Michael Jackson’s former bodyguard was snubbed at a Ferrari dealership due to his attire, is it really that surprising? Imagine trying to enter a black-tie restaurant in a white tank top—it’s a mismatch. While mistreating anyone seeking service is inexcusable, luxury car dealerships, in general, are exceptionally selective about their clientele, especially considering the exorbitant prices of these vehicles. Additionally, purchasing a new Ferrari typically requires prior ownership of a used one, which might explain the staff’s indifference.
There’s no justification for poor treatment, but if someone truly desires a Ferrari, presenting oneself with a semblance of taste might help. Moreover, in such elite markets, familiarity often plays a role—if they don’t know you, they might not pay attention.
Oh, and the moral of this story. They lost the sale because, like in Pretty Woman, they were too busy licking their own snobbish arses.
