A question for the “Cushion Woman” from the shop this afternoon: So, does the raging sense of entitlement come as a perk with the black metal AmEx card, or is it just something you cultivated yourself?

Oh, it comes with the card. When I worked at an LYS an saw them coming, I quickly busied myself with something (anything) else.

You know, my parents refuse to take AmEx cards. Their entitled ar$es have to actually use cash at my parents store if they don’t use Visa/MC.
I’ve come to believe that most of the Centurion card users didn’t work very hard for their money. I know plenty of people that worked hard to be wealthy and they won’t pay those kinds of fees. Then again, none of them flaunt the fact that they have money.

We didn’t take them before like last year, when AmEx gave us a discount on the fees for processing. We do get quite a few people using them, and I won’t go so far as to tar all of them with the same brush. Most that I’ve encountered are just people who are Points-mad. They love them Points! It’s just the black one specifically that seems to herald a nice bout of assholishness.

The sense of entitlement probably comes from having the means to spend >$250k per year and afford a $2500 annual fee (reportedly).
