Just happened to me Friday. Have a new 2006 Ford Escape since last October. Got my first recall notice (windshield wiper motor) last week.
When I walked in the service department of the local Ford dealership the parts guy looked up and said, "Hi Ron." I had no clue what his name is.
Gotta be the kilt....or the small town...or the name...or all three....

It happens to me quite a lot at nurseries and hardware stores. I think the kilt is a big help in being rememberd.

SB, should you be sharing this? The cops might get upset.
Yes, I know you are in landscaping and what nurseries this refers to!

Sorry I can't make a trip to NYC for Tartan week, it would be a great time. Maybe next year.

Really? There's a lot of cute, single Nurses who are wild about men in kilts.

I almost am afraid to admit this, but I do get a lot of free stuff because I am Kilted. Boy do I have lots of friends.

Spot on, the kilt is a sure fire way to get noticed and never forgotten.
If I am trying to remind someone over the phone of a previous contact/order/job etc. and they can't remember me, I just say "I'm the guy in the kilt".
This is why more businesses are incorporating kilts as workwear (Highland water, Men in Kilts (window cleaners) and Cam River Signs (free advert)

Apparently I've had a kilt on every time I've been to the car dealship here in town to get my truck serviced. At least three or four of the employees there strike up a conversation of some kind while I wait. Last time I went in jeans ( painting my livingroom. kilts may be clothes, but I don't have any painter-s kilts) and everyone there asked "why no kilt?" Definitly made me feel better.
I also get the same treatment at the local tavern I visit on occasion. The usually have my drink waiting for me before I even get to the bar. Very good things.
