I took like 20 mins to hand over the cash to pay for a big bag of Doritos today. I’m basically a fucking pharaoh

I’m sure the cashier picked that up from your stylish and ornate headdress. The slow wallet move just drove the point home.
Thinking back to when I used to work a register on occasion, when someone waited until I informed them of their total to pull out their wallet and hand over the money, the only thing I would think is why the fuck they didn’t have their shit together before they got to me.
I mean, not even having your wallet out suggested, to me, that you were somehow under the misapprehension that your shit was going to be free.
Customers were either a) attractive, b) friendly as fuck fucks, c) sweet old people, or d) everyone else. If you weren’t A through C and were, therefore, D, I’d much rather have been on my phone, shooting the shit with coworkers, or doing any of the myriad tasks required in a pharmacy than watch you demonstrate that you didn’t know how buying things works.
Unless they needed, say, an antibiotic, people with inflated senses of their status NEVER got the service they felt they were entitled to. They got the bare minimum.
Great troll thread, though.

well, yes. You need to be a special type of high-status alpha to be able to wear a headdress such as mine.
All you betas will never understand.

I’ve already said twice now; this makes thrice - the cashier is an example. Practice. The same principle applies with a contract for half a million or to scramble over your colleagues on your way to the top.

No, it doesn’t.
In example A: You’re just some asshole holding up the line. Status is relative. No one in that line, assuming a line, including the clerk, just wants you to hurry the fuck up and now, your status is no longer high, you’re just an inconsiderate douche or a sympathetic character with retarded motor functions (again, depending on the people witnessing this interaction).
In Example 2: Again, depending on the client or who you’re negotiating the contract with, you might be perceived as a dim wit. You might be perceived as shrewd. BUT, since you’re negotiating a (what could be, again, relative) million dollar contract (which might be peanuts if you’re part of a multi-billion $ organization) you COULD be high status, medium status, or getting your feet wet. Not really enough information to go on here - this touches on my idea of complexity. It’s not enough that you’re negotiating a million dollar contract, but we REALLY need context to make any assessment. Plus, negotiations tend to be conducted with teams. So, not enough information.
In Example gamma: You’re a cut-throat scum bag making enemies on your way to the top. You’re technically in the middle, or low, on the totem pole. Not high value at all. Plus, you’re only controlling 2 things: jack and shit. And Jack left town. (In this scenario or course.) Plus, you’re sharing status with co-workers/colleagues, so, again, in relation to your colleagues, you’re not high value. Plus, we don’t know exactly what function you and your colleagues serve within this scenario … you could be scrambling to be the best motherfuckin’ trash man in the town. That’s some high valued shit right there.
So, again, context helps and this slow approach may not be appropriate in every situation to achieve your end of being high value. You really should learn to accurately read situations and approach them appropriately to achieve high value … and once you DO achieve it, you still must be situationally aware so not to be downgraded by a person with similar ends in mind.

Slowly curling into a supinated grip position and moving back and forth diagonally along the “z” plane so as to mimic a the shaking of a soda (pop?) bottle or can, depending on your preference, for an easily and universally identifiable “who gives a shit” effect.

So you admit your not high status and just practicing so you can get there one day?
