Yes , I have - I have tats as well,look like a surfer bum most days- I wear a suit when selling at show or at the office just about everyday. I have gone to a big show in my normal dress where no one knows who I am & have gotten a colder shoulder & I have gone to a local show in my normal dress where everyone knows me & get swamped by guys & collectors who want opinions. That all came with time though. I dont judge if you come in my store on what you look like, its how you act. Its not just how you act exactly either. Im good friends with East side "hood rats" who are my normal customers but speak with heavy slang, Real estate loan officers in suits who are red book junkies , & cops who like silver & have no personality. It doesnt matter as long as you have some whits & dont act like an idiot. Believe it or not 99.9% of the time no one is an idiot. I hope no one takes anything I say the wrong way-
Lol I'm younger than 24 and own the store. When there isn't customers theyres always russians and Arabs enjoying sone coffee shooting the breeze. What's better than a relaxed and welcoming enviroment?
that because you lived through the cold war...........my generation says arabs and coffe make me nervous.......LMAO here we go with the age issue again:foot-mouth:
