    I'm sure it was the standard line he had been taught. If the customer buys some shirts, try to sell some jeans.

    Besides, just because you are wearing a kilt doesn't necessarily mean you always wear a kilt. Kilt wearers are in the minority, and those who only wear kilts even more so.

    Great story. It sounds like he was using the pitch he was taught. He's young and will recover.

    Not unusual for some peolpe to not notice I'm kilted....particularly when I have my "Scottish Jeans" on...other's just make good eye contact or are so into themselves they don't notice.

    Cute when they realize it though...usually some gasps and stutters...

    I believe that sums the situation up pretty well.

    I suppose you could always make up a t-shirt emblazened with... "I hate denim jeans!" front and back.

    I prefer the quote "Pants are for women"...which I am going to make into a t-shirt once I find suitable font.

    "So you want some fries with those?"
    Maybe he worked at that fastfood Scottish restaurant before the present job.

    I tell my boys that 'when Dad is home, Mom wears the pants in the family!'


    on a side note...How do you cut a previous post so you see the original poster?
    Thanks

    to remove a part of the quote, simple delete it. As long as you do not delete anything between apair of brackets, you should be fine.

    Funny, it was probably just a robotic comment.

    After writing a ticket, I always say, "Thanks for your cooperation and drive safely!" It is automatic. I say it without thinking. I have caught myself saying to not only uncooperative people (which isn't the worst thing, it just comes off as sarcastic) as well as those I have cited for no license (or suspended license) as they are being sent away on foot and their car or motorcycle is being hooked up to a tow truck.... "Drive safely... er.. Don't drive safety, um, be safe, but DON'T DRIVE!" Jeeze! I wish I could stop myself, but it seems to be beyond me! I always catch myself too late.

    How about a shirt that says, "Yes it's a KILT" on the front and "Pants are for Lasses!" on the back.
