Iin, for rich people to not know what a grocery store is?

I used to go to an after school program, that had a few kids who came from higher income families.

On one occasion, I was was talking with two of my peers. One of my peers came from a middle class background, like myself. The other one came from a higher income family.

As we were talking about our financial backgrounds, me and the girl from the same background started talking about grocery stores.

The rich girl asked us what a grocery store was. We were shocked and asked her if she were joking. She said that she wasn't.

We questioned her further and she told us that she had never stepped into a grocery store, that she wasn't allowed to. Her mother wouldn't let her.

Still shocked, we asked her were she thought her food came from. She said she didn't know and assume that it was like magic. They would be out of food and then suddenly they would have food.

We couldn't believe what we were hearing. We did our best to answer any questions that she had and urged her to try going to one, even if she had to go behind her mother's back.

I would like to think that this isn't a common occurance among higher income families. I've known other people from higher income backgrounds and they all seemed to understand what a grocery store was.

I can't wrap my head around her mother's reasoning. I don't understand how someone could raise their child to be so clueless of the world around them. It's crazy! IIN?

    • Looks like you've already made up your mind and no amount of trying to convince you otherwise will change it.

        Most of your stuff on this site is made up attention seeking bullshit.

    I find this very hard to believe, but it is possible - very rich people are strange. I once shared a house with a young woman who didn't know you used hot water to wash dishes because her household had a live-in maid who did everything.

    I'm wondering why a rich family would have their daughter in after school care? No nanny or housekeeper to look after her after school?

    • My days of trolling are behind me forever. I wish the events never transpired. I find them and their possible implications very disturbing. I wish we could've made a report to the police back then. I think it's too late now to make a police report. :(

      The school buses and the after school bus, picked the kids up directly from school. She had friends from the same background, who went to the program. She lived very close to the program.

      Another odd thing about her, she said that she lived in a mansion. Not at all odd for someone who claims to be rich. However, there was one occasion where she told us where her house was. According to her, it was right next the program's grounds. That house didn't look like a mansion. There were many homes in the surrounding area that were large, but they weren't considered mansions.

      I'm mind boggled, but I do feel sorry for the girl you mentioned. It's not her fault that she was raised in a bubble. I don't understand what rich parents with this mindset hope to achieve. They're supplying their offspring with no skills to prepare them in the real world. Their offspring may not even be able to live the lives they were accustomed to, once they reach adulthood and become, presumably, independent. I guess I'm being naive. Most rich families help their offspring out. They never get to learn true independence because, someone is always there to help them get a leg up.

    • Lol, no. She was short and chubby, like a plum. Her name didn't start with a "P". She was blonde, though.

    How could she say that she had been forbidden by her mother to never walk in a grocery store if she had never in her life heard the term grocery store? Also, if she knows basic English and is aware of the meaning of "grocery" and "store" wouldn't the term grocery store be obvious. I just don't understand any of this.

    • I'm confused about it myself. She didn't know what it was yet, she had asked her mother before. Perhaps, she had heard it being mentioned before and asked her mother about it.

      I remember her mom picking her up and she asked her about it. Her mom was mad. She didn't want to talk about it there. I got picked up shortly after her and I saw her sitting in the car with her mother. The lights were on inside the car. They looked like they were having an argument. Her mother was very, very, angry. The girl ended up in tears.

      I know this may sound crazy, but it is true.

        Well she isnt allowed in one, she is rich and probably very sheltered from the outside world. So you cant really blame her for being ignorant. Maybe she is afraid shell talk to strangers or something like that is just a very protective mother. If her family is rich they probably are able and willing to pay for anything she could possibly need. So she doesn't have to lift a finger.

        • I hope this was the reason. I never thought about it that way. Thank you.

    • Not that long after writing my reply to you, I spoke to my mother about this. She believes that it may have been a kidnapping situation over child custody. Her argument is pretty strong, I wish we could have contacted the police when it happened.

          I can't believe I actually agree with something you said.

          I can't quite decide if this OP genuinely believes the bullshit they spout or just is a desperate attention seeker.

            Why your disbelief at agreeing with me? I'm such a nice agreeable person and nearly always right

          • They had the word "suicide" in their username and they were off topic. I thought I might interject some lightheartedness/good advice if they truly are suicidal.

            I've been to France. The lifestyle is very peaceful and relaxing. I just wanted to help. That's all. If it somehow discredits my post, that truly is sad.
