I came to this guy with an unprofessionally done painting which I had a problem with. Instead of simply telling me his quote or that he cannot/would not do it or whatever, the guy snobbishly asked me why I even thought the painting was valuable and then told me he was ""not affordable"" for me. I found that insulting and humiliating. I cannot help but wonder if this had to do with my nationality, too. I do not think he would behave in such a way with an American.
