Appearing "professional"
I think that people are finally realizing that the old ways of thinking that people ARE more professional if they DRESS more professional is a flat-out lie--SOME people are starting to learn that being "professional" in general doesn't mean being more moral or ethical in any way shape or form.
Look back in your past--what's the ratio of people who have ripped you off in a business deal, or who have sold you something that was unnecessary, or did their best to make you buy accessories for something that you didn’t need--when they're wearing a suit and tie and make themselves look all perfect vs. the longbearded biker-looking dude with his belly sticking out?
Generally, it's the people who try the hardest to look professional that are the ones who are willing to do anything to get a buck. The exception to this is people that are so desperate to make a buck that they’re willing to mug someone, and they usually look really really ratty.
Selling people unnecessary warranties, or used cars, or selling people a computer based on how extravagant it looks vs how it actually performs--generally it’s all done by people who pride themselves in looking professional.
THAT is why looking professional has become not as important anymore, because people are starting to open their eyes and realize. People like Tia will probably continue to get sold things that they don’t need, and get sold things that may be inferior quality, all because the person selling it looks professional. That is snobbishness in action, and snobbishness has its pitfalls.
