Actually I don't...

Back in 2015 or 2016, the jewelry store graciously invited me to an MB&F cocktail party and a seated dinner; then two hours prior to the start I got a phone call asking me if it was okay if I gave up my seat for the dinner and only come to the cocktail to which I agreed. I understood, a bigger VIP client came and they bump the smaller clients first. I knew I was a small client and was happy to be invited at all and always happy to see Max Busser. And then at the party the President of the jewelry store pulled me aside and very emotionally and belligerently shooed me away from the cocktail stating I would never buy an MB&F product anyways. I don't know why he had such a profound dislike for me, but he insisted I leave the cocktail despite all else. I was surprised but the valet parking team was even more surprised, since I was in and out so quickly contrary to what I told them when I left the car with them (I was driving a Rolls so they wanted to know if they could keep the car out front). I don't hold it against the store - nor the owner - Mr. Silver - who probably isn't aware of how all his employees behave or operate. But I probably wouldn't go back unless I was specifically invited back. Late in the evening after the dinner, I phoned Max Busser later in his hotel room after the dinner to apologize for my abrupt departure. I hope it's not ungracious for me to mention this. I again harbor no bad feelings over the incident - especially since it's been so many years. And in fact I feel I got something out of it - I felt I learned a thing or two about human behavior.
