Re: [Bulk] RE: It always makes me wonder...

Very true, you never assume from one's appearance although David may be very 
correct in this case.  I treat all of my customers with respect and am polite 
to them no matter how they are dressed.  I dress very casually as well.  Which 
reminds me that I was escorted out of a Gucci's in Chicago once by the sales 
clerk who must have thought I was a bit too casually dressed to be shopping 
there. I still carry a grudge.   ;-)

  I think this entire thread can be summarized by that lovely old joke that 
goes, "Never assume!  You will make an ASS out of U and ME.  

                          CHEERS!

  We were at a family reunion in Arkansas, and "the guys"  made a field trip to 
a nearby town to check out the pawnshops.  We spotted a music store, and 
stopped in. My brother in law, an R&D engineer for a major computer company,  
our collective five sons and me, all dressed rather casually, Five of the group 
were musicians.

  Adam asked the clerk about a copy of a Paul McCartney bass.  The guy sez, 
"You can't afford it."

  I turned to  the guy and said,  "I could pay cash,  but I'm not going to 
reward you with a sale." 

  Three years later, the bass was still in the store.

  Yes, indeed.  I had a customer in my store once that I thought didn't have 
two nickels to rub together from the way he was dressed. Turned out he was a 
very rich man and bought a very expensive bike from me.  Clothes may make the 
man but not necessarily indicate the bank account.  Heck just remember Jed 
Clampett.  :-)

  Yup ... see my answer to Bob.  And, no, he's not a millionaire.   Likely not 
even a hundred-aire!



  I met a guy who looked like that who turned out to be a Nobel  Laureate...


  the other guy I'd watch out for is Steve Wozniak, inventor of the  Apple 
computer...


  these guys can fool you,
