Can't say I've experienced better service when kilted. On the contrary, I can think of at least three recent occasions when I've been standing in a queue kilted and when my turn came the assistant failed to even notice me and went on to serve the person behind me first. The first time I was wearing a camo kilt at the self service food counter in a zoo cafe which might explain why I wasn't spotted. The next time I was wearing my Olive Grey Cargo kilt at the bookstall in Stansted Airport and the lady assistant served a very pretty young lady customer with conspicuous peroxide blonde hair who came up behind me just as I was about to be served - I could have better understood this if the sales assistant had been male. Then last week in the airline check-in queue at Dublin Airport in my County Armagh kilt a guy in a dark business suit who came up behind me was called forward first for check in - maybe because as a day tripper with no luggage I didn't look like a passenger. On each occasion I was happy to let it go and say nothing as it only goes to show how well a kilt wearer blends in nowadays and doesn't draw attention.
