Like, when was the last time this was considered ideal?
“Yes, I would like an unstriped dress shirt please”

“I have some lovely jogging pants”
“Ok, I need to be clear here, I would like a dress shirt that has no stripes”
“Can I interest you in a white undershirt? People who buy dress shirts usually buy undershirts”

- pbhjpbhj 7y agoI think if you were visiting a personal tailor, or perhaps talking to a shop assistant, you might get something akin to that. T: I think pink would look good on you, and it's very fashionable right now. You: Just bring me some yellow shirts to try. T: Oh, I got these, and brought this pink one anyway; try it! But, of course Google isn't making fashion suggestions. But then, ... the tailor might also be just trying to shift excess stock or be on a bonus for selling that particular high-cost shirt.

They can certainly also bring some stock to shift, or offer suggestions while I’m trying something on, but if they aren’t listening when I make a direct request or when I clearly say no, then they aren’t really there for me, their customer.
