There are people who spend that much week to week. This is dependent on a specific type of retail - our average sale in these stores is $30. But some customers can spend $50k or more in one visit. And those customers are the easiest to deal with - very few complaints, no arrogance, easy to please.
Yes. That's the difference between the people who try to bully a clerk and claim they are a big spender and someone who is actually a big spender. There are lots of people who think they spend a lot of money and that it affords them special privileges. But the people who think that have no idea that the scruffy guy in jeans and sneakers standing next to them is about to drop cash like that.
I think about this when I go to a trendy place like Buckhead in Atlanta. There are some big money players walking around - but they generally aren't the young people who look like a million bucks and look like they are loaded. Those people are broke.
