The way the we dress is often a great expression of one's self. It is also often an expression of our current mood. For instance, when a teenage girl comes into the store with tiny shorts and a tank top, we assume she must be really hot so she wears little clothing in order to keep herself cool. If a college students comes in wearing sweatpants we assume he must be feeling ill and needs to go back to bed. If we see a person wearing a business suit and a bluetooth in their ear, they must be feeling rushed and strapped for time. But more often than not, this clothing or the way people present themselves in public, doesn't have anything to do with their true selves. Nevertheless, it is human nature to make quick assumptions that are often a little less appropriate and more judgmental than the examples I listed above.
The most prominent example for a jewelry store located in Montana is the dirty rancher that looks like he only has one change of clothes. However, a good salesperson will not prejudge any customer because usually the dirty ranchers are the ones with all the money to spend. All sales tactics aside, sometimes the only thing that gets me through the day is to gaze upon the center court of the mall. It is here that there is usually one person that falls into the category I like to call, The People of the Gallatin Valley Mall.
