No such luck, bro. My boss is a bald headed guy. If he is a woman, he would look like a female Shrek.

Honestly, a lot of it boils down to the "signaling effect." People use brands as a shorthand to show they belong to a certain social class or have a specific taste without having to say a word. It’s basically social currency.

In my experience, once you get past the ego part, you realize high-end brands often provide a better cut and fabric that lasts years longer than fast fashion. But let's be real, most people are just buying the logo for the respect they think it gets them in public.

I wear grab corporate outfit and yet shown the kitchen door.

hanor, serves you right if you did not ditch the green backpack and helmut.
another tip - try not to hang around the kitchen area, as it's a force of habit for you chaps when picking up your delivery orders as you might be mistaken for being on the job.

i walked into a crowded restaurant at the champs-élysées in a green blazer and white t with jeans and was promptly greeted nicely by a french chiobu who seated me at a table for 4 by a window facing the famous avenue, to the chagrin of those waiting in line. no reservations, no waiting in line, just a walk in. my 2 french canadian biz associates were drinking at the bar in the basement, waiting for a table. i texted them. they came up in their suits and ties and were surprised i was already seated at the most sought after table at the corner. i was wearing my shades too in the evening. where we sat, tables around it were empty although the place was packed. may be the french chiobu maître d’ thought i was a hongkang gang boss or a much awaited yakuza kingpin gracing the restaurant. at that time japs were prosperous, wealthy and travelling the world, and hongkong triads were all over major european capitals. don’t know, but the french wait staff were all very attentive and friendly to me that evening. they were not so to the french canadians. they regarded them as lower tier colonials speaking old french or a french dialect that was forgotten for over 200 years.
