Do You Get Better Service When Kilted?

[Coinneach]

I don't know that I get better service, but overall, I get friendlier service...and that's a big plus.

Ron I have some very bad news for you. One time can hardly be seen as scientific proof. You'll have to go back more often in pants. Best we just sweep this under the rug along with the trousers.

Nah, sweeping it under the rug would just make the rug lumpy.

Yup. Better, faster service. More smiles. More conversations. More "You just don't see that every day-s."

Best service I get is in my Armani (seriously, I found it in a thrift shop and had it tailored to my size). Yes, it makes a big difference.

For Sure Grant,

My one experience got me to thinking about other kiltie's experiences...

And since I posted the question I went back out to the affair and darned if I didn't run into another guy from Page, and of course his first questions was, "Hey, where's your kilt??"

I definitely get better, faster service in a kilt - they can't pretend they haven't seen you, when you don't want to be disturbed the kilt keeps them at bay, and speed - I think of it as the "While I'm waiting for you, my kilt and I will be in our waiting room, scaring the out of your other customers by just sitting there" effect.
Pants - I just blend into the background.

I would say I usually get better service. I would also say it's the kilt itself, not because I'm wearing a "strange" article of clothing. I don't think I'd get the same response standing around in a cape. Or maybe I would!

I've noticed in my region of Canada that caped folks are generally not wanted by most servers. They seem to carry some sort of looming that people here don't appreciate. On that not however, most of the people wearing capes are goth kids.

I have to agree that there is more attentive service given to me while kilted. Clerks are friendlier and probably the most telling time was last spring in Las Vegas, my wife complained that the cocktail girls seemed to hover around me and she had to come over near me to get a drink!! Go figure!

more smiles maybe, but not better service. I don't think I've noticed any difference here Down Under, sorry.
