Being old, or at least old-er, I remember the days when salespersons avoided scruffy customer, then as years passed, began to check out shoes as scruffy clothing but good shoes gave a person away as having some money. Nowadays, at least in our area, with so many people winning lotteries and so many computer nerds striking it rich, any salesperson with a brain treats even the homeless as prospective customers. I never dress for success when dealing for an automobile. Jeans and a Harley T-Shirt, with a leather jacket and jack boots are my normal garb, and I ain't changing it to attract sales people. Motorcycle dealerships don't slight me, so car dealers better not if they want my business. I have to admit, I have never been made to feel uncomfortable, or undervalued at a car dealership, so maybe some of them have learned a thing or two over the years. Now, if only memory did not go with age, I would be on top of the world, lol.
