Keep on kiltin'
Soon you'll get comments when you're not.

Sounds like a great first outing. If you really like the stares permit me to be bold enough to recommend:
1. Advanced Auto Parts
2. Food Lion
3. Dollar General Store
4. The Olive Garden, Red Lobster, or TGI Friday's.
5. Tractor Supply Store or Southern States.

stopped there for a bottle of water on the way to the carnival... no reactions... I think they're all lobotomized
Hmmm... come to think of it... my ex-wife works for Food Lion.
3. Dollar General Store
Show me a "normal" person in there... go on... show me! I'll wait...
4. The Olive Garden, Red Lobster, or TGI Friday's.
Will wait until I see a busload of AARP members going in.
5. Tractor Supply Store or Southern States.
I don't have a deathwish!

Have worn my Utilikilts Workmans to Tractor Supply and Home Depot - received nothing but positive comments. The guys at Tractor Supply wanted to know if it was a Carhart kilt!

Hey watch it! No badmouthing of Southern states allowed.
Unless you were born here. Like me.
We do have a fine collection of in-bred, backward a$$ country folks and they might give you a strange look now and again. On the other hand, most of them look strange all the time so who would notice?  
Besides I've met plenty of redneck bumpkins from north of the Mason-Dixon line.

I wasn't born... I was pieced together out of factory seconds.

I have to agree. I live in Alaska, and we have our fair share of " backward a$$ country folks" too.

Born in the Blue Ridge - Abingdon Virginia. I meant the feed store. Went back to where I grew up and stopped in at a store I actually worked in as a teen. Talk about a showstopper.
I know what you mean about the North. My first restaurant job in New Jersey the owner looked at me and said "Ya know, I normally don't hire any anglos kid, but I think you'll do allright".
The Southern States guys thought it was pretty brave, and unique, just took them a minute to wrap their minds around the idea.

1. been there...done that... the kilt was no big deal... of course they were probably wondering if I was planning on working on my car kilted of if was I was going to put pants on...
2. I do that all the time.. the employees don't seem to notice (except this one cashier who stares and smiles a lot).. I have made a couple customers run their carts into the shelves.. ahhhh good times
3. I try to avoid that place... but have gone in kilted... time sort of stopped when I walked in the door...
4. those are always fun.. recently I was at Ryan's steak house and one lady almost dropped her plate of food when she saw my kilt 
5. haven't done that one... but have gone kilted to Home Depot and Lowe's... the employee's a Lowe's knew that my UK was in fact a kilt..and several commented on how they liked it..

2. Food Lion -Is that like 7/11 ?
3. Dollar General Store -does WalMart count?
4. The Olive Garden, Red Lobster, or TGI Friday's. All three!
5. Tractor Supply Store or Southern States. Many southern states, and Farm Union should count, or Orchard Supply?
