so there i am, one saturday, in los mangos golf club (a lot less posh than it sounds). i am watching swimming class of friend's daughter and chatting with her family. two dominican girls appear on our side and announce they study mercado and they have this survey about the club and could we please take a look.
nice! i love surveys. i take the paper they hand me and look at the first question: what social class are you? high, middle high, middle low, low. followed by blah blah questions about the club.
i gotta say i roared with laughter. and then my eyes rolled so far back i could see my ass and the all the cottage cheese reasons to renew my gym membership. gee. why not ask straightforwardly: how rich are you?
and i am the first to agree that in any survey you need to know who you were talking too, this is why after you are done with the subject at hand (the club) you can ask about gender, age and income, caring to include i prefer not to say kind of answer so you know who's a bore and whose answer sheet can be dumped into the rubbish bin.
now you know. the number one issue to dominican students is social class, apparently
