You can either chafe, or acknowledge reality and use it to your advantage.
When I was younger, I chafed. Now, I enjoy getting seated at that restaurant table before you.
- Doctor_Fegg 9y agoAnd the presence of a load of suits is a good indicator for the rest of us that it's not the sort of restaurant atmosphere we'll enjoy...
- clentaminator 9y agoWhen everyone is wearing a suit, how does one differentiate?
- eropple 9y agoSame way you differentiate between different stuff in the same class--quality, style, that sort of thing. I've never worried about that part of things, though, because the jump from "no suit" to "well-fitted suit" feels bigger to me than "well-fitted suit" to "well-fitted, expensive suit", and I mostly wear one because I like them, so I haven't indulged.
- gaius 9y agoWatch I guess, Patek trumps Rolex and so on...
- giobox 9y agoThere's few things that make a worse first impression on me faster than someone wearing a watch as a status symbol.
- avar 9y agoBy comparing the quality of your respective business cards of course.
- Mikeb85 9y agoWatches. Tag < Rolex < Audemars < Patek. Or shoes, or quality of suit, style, age, companion, car, etc...
- mianos 9y agoNo one recognises the higher end. Sure people notice a Rolex, TAG or Breitling but, in 10 years I can not remember anyone commenting on my AP.
- Chris2048 9y agoaka selling out.
- srtjstjsj 9y agojokes on you. i don't go to restaurants that cater to image over quality of food.
- eertami 9y agoHahaha oh man it's hard to tell on the internet but I hope this is facetious and you genuinely don't think restaurants are going to ever move you ahead in the queue.
- brandonmenc 9y agoI'm kind of being facetious. It's just an observation that the more professional you look, the better you'll be treated. Yes, that's a fact. Yes, it's probably a sad commentary. And I rarely wear dress clothes - but I know when to, and I don't complain. Anecdotally, I have worked at restaurants where we wouldn't seat people who were wearing denim, no matter how expensive it was.
