Big box stores: Inferior tools?

[aczlan]

When I was in school, I worked across from a Sears. My work attire was just like the Sears staff, nice shirt, trousers, tie, etc. I would walk through Sears to go to the food court, and more often than not, people would ask me where they could find this or that. :laughing: This was in an area with a large elderly population, and since I was young and dressed for the part, they thought I worked at Sears. Here I am, many decades later and apparently still dressed for the part. Is it a promotion to work at Lowes over Sears? :laughing::laughing::laughing: I would like to think I was getting ahead in life.

I served a 2 year mission in Argentina and we would frequently get mistaken for management at the grocery store (even by employees sometimes) as we were usually wearing a white shirt, tie, slacks and (often) a suitcoat. The expressions of people when we said "I am sorry, but I don't work here" was often funny.
