    I have the same problem, compounded by the fact that I look like a 20-year-old college kid. Salespeople often try to use clothing (and age, and unfortunately often race) to judge a potential customer’s income and buying power. Some are on commission and see casually dressed customers as a waste of time. Others have just not been trained to give proper service to all customers. Still others are just plain lazy. When I was in college, I worked at a fine women’s shoe store. I learned very quickly that a customer’s dress indicated NOTHING about income level and certainly did not indicate readiness to buy. In fact, my largest sale ever was to a woman in jeans, t-shirt, and worn sneakers. She was the wife of an oompah band leader, and she bought 800 dollars worth of shoes and bags for Oktoberfest season!
