Re: Kilt Shop Employee Not Allowed to Wear Kilt to Work
I can see Jock's point, and I must say it makes sense. Jock makes sense even if he's wrong. Hahhaahahahaha
(I do hope the emoticons sufficiently imply the tongue-in-cheek sarcasm intended.) He is, in fact absolutely correct in his assertions.
However, I think Artificer is right, too. If I go to Brooks Brothers or Hickey Freeman to purchase a suit, I am going there to purchase a good suit, not an off-the-wall one-size-fits-all model from a lesser provider. And I expect to see the sales staff outfitted in good suits, shirts, and ties, and not in suits, shirts, and ties from Wal-Mart. (No offence intended if you purchase your clothing from Wal-Mart; they do, in fact carry some very good clothing, but not Hart Schaffner and Marx suits!)
So, there you are: everyone is correct except me. But then, the last time I was in Glasgow--too many years ago--I entered a well-known outfitter and was pleased to see the salesman in a fine kilt. But then, I didn't by one that day. If I had it to do over, I would!
