Tim tells a long story about trying to buy a handbag at Tiffany's on Rodeo Drive for his house manager, getting hassled by a rude employee over shipping paperwork, and expands into a rant about how hostile and dead-eyed retail workers have become everywhere.
- Tim was at Tiffany's trying to buy a handbag for his house manager who runs his property renovations.
- A surfer guy with a lanyard tells Tim he has to fill out a computer form to ship the bag, refuses to do it himself.
- Tim argues retail workers treat customers like criminals regardless of whether they're buying a lot or a little.
- Stores now station guards at the door like customers are coming in with machetes, treating everyone like violent street thugs.
- A woman at the store asks where he's from; Tim describes seeing a whale in Malibu and how relaxing it was.
- Retail workers are either completely dissociated and spacey or angry and hostile that he's walked in at all.
- Tim acknowledges retail workers probably aren't paid enough and understand corporate abuse, but he's not the rich person to take it out on.
- When Tim bought his house manager her first gift from Dior, he rejected the classy understated option and demanded the most disgusting logo item.
- He chose a Tiffany bag that says 'Please Return to Tiffany's New York' because it was heinous and disgusting, matching her taste from Queens.
- The bag fit perfectly for his house manager who loves ostentatious branding.
