- Way back in the old days, when I was doing sales, I learned quickly to
- never judge a book by it's cover, or a customer by their attire. I
- made a number of big sales by being nice and courteous to people that
- looked like they'd just waked up from the gutter, who'd come in, look
- at something expensive, ask a bunch of questions, and then either pull
- out a wad of cash, or a gold card.... you should have pity for the
- salespeople that are too stupid to realize that how one dresses
- doesn't reflect how one spends one's money. I prefer to spend my
- money on techy toys, not on clothes... (Grin).
