I mostly agree. However, there are biological and economical reasons for this that are deeply anchored, such as for example that it allows us to more easily distinguish friend from foe, and almost instantly skip forward a few leaps in trust levels when communicating.

- emodendroket 9y agoWhen was the last time you saw a car salesman wearing a suit, let alone a leisure suit?
- mc32 9y agoWhen you're doing the financial paperwork --your implication is right though. At that point they are not technically "salespeople" but closers who are trying to get you to buy additional things.
