Funny half related story. For a bit in my mid-20s I was a manager in training for enterprise (shit company, shit job, do not recommend). I’m this position, we were required to wear a suit, even while cleaning the cars. One day a dude came off the plane looking for a car, I was helping him and giving my speil and he pretty politely stopped me and said something to the effect of, that’s nice and all, but I don’t really trust dudes in suits. A little caught off guard, but attempting to be friendly, I said cool and let him do his thing. It still sticks with me. Something about a suit can say, I‘ve decided to look presentable so you believe me. Not sure if it’s a positive or negative, but he‘s had me thinking for ten years.
I’ll stick to my loincloth just as it sticks to me. Really helps bring out the free thinker in people
At one of my first jobs, they had a policy that you couldn’t meet clients without a suit and (company) necktie. Since we mostly accompanied the sales department to sit there and shut up unless specifically asked a technically question, we took to calling it the “liesuit”. After all, it’s what you wore when lying to your customers.
Should’ve pulled a Saul Goodman and started attending with flashy suits.
