It's amazing what people will do for someone in a kilt.

Just before Christmas my wife and I were talking about DVD's to give. We go to another town (40 miles away) about 4 or 5 times a year because they have a variety of speciality stores we like. This one video store has a buy 10 DVD's and get 1 free (up to $40.00 value) which we had taken advantage of on several occassions. We went in and were looking around and the guy that manages the place (we had gotten to know him over the years and joke with him when we go in) looked up and saw me in a kilt. He came across the store and started talking. He asked about the kilt and he had the usual comments, most good but he was kind of shocked to have a guy in a kilt in the store.

After talking a while he walked off and we went back looking around. About 5 minutes later he came over and gave me a full stamped card with a laugh saying that I deserved it.

I didn't ask questions I just accepted it and thanked him. Yes, I still visit the store more than before and ALWAYS in a kilt. On one visit he asked if I knew anything about Utilikilts. I told him I had one and enjoyed it. He commented that after my visit he saw one and was thinking about getting one.

You never know!
