I have both purchased and sold furniture to these women (those of us raised in the South use the term women, as opposed to ladies, to indicate a lack of refinement). I do not believe they intend to offend, but truly believe they are a bit callous and rough by nature. I do have compassion for the mother whose child was scolded. All such criticisms should be made to the parent, and never the child. As for the idea of Solana Beach socialites, I assure you that term does not apply to SB. I have owned real estate in Solana Beach, Del Mar and Rancho Santa Fe. My home in SB was located 4 blocks from the sand and my neighbors were uncultured, hillbillies. Hold your head high and demand respect from the women who are there to sell to you, no matter what your zip code.
