Sales clerks should really learn that the amount you'll spend doent depend on how you're dressed when you walk in. I drop coin in Tahari shops because the clothes, particularly the suits, are sharp and fit me well. I guess my cheap and well-worn jeans and even more unfashionably adorned mother were all the lead clerk needed to see before sending the junior sales girl over to help me. Several hundred dollars later at the cash register, lead clerk discovers that I'm already in their customer database--which probably shows how much I spent the last time--and gains interest. She's now all smiles and helpful.
No matter what Tahari I'm in, this same pattern repeats. It makes me chuckle.
