 Person A says:  

A bottle of water at Costco is $0.25.
The same bottle in the supermarket is worth about $0.50.
The same bottle in a bar costs $2.
In a good restaurant or hotel, it can be worth up to $3.
At an airport, on the plane, or a concert or event, you may be charged $5.
The bottle and the brand is the same, the only thing that changes is the place. Each place gives a different value to the same product.

When you feel like you are worth nothing and everyone around you belittles you, change places, do not stay there.
Have the courage to change places and go to a place where you are given the value you deserve. Surround yourself with people who really appreciate your worth.
Don't settle for less
 
Person B replies: 
 
The suggested message seems to contradict the evidence presented. Costco values you more than their potential profits, while the swanky restaurant values your willingness to pay six to twelve times the cost of that bottle of water more than they value you.
 
My thoughts (not shared due to  unwelcome and snarky):

 More importantly,  Are you the commodity or the consumer in your life/situation? 

(Also, bottled water is incredibly destructive to the environment. Don't buy it and don't drink it. Get a nice BPA free refillable bottle and go with that. If you are traveling where tap water isn't trustworthy, get a filter bottle.)
