The following day in my Men's Warehouse garb (yer gonna like the way you look) went back and people were falling all over themselves to help out. It was night and day and yes sir no sir. I was stunned. I tell this story to all my west coasty friends and they can't believe it. Is this a valid test? Maybe, maybe not. More often than not though, when I am in a suit, people are much nicer to me.
now imagine wearing a f-king asian suit 24/7. u get no where even with a 3pc suit on...at least until one callz out 'excuse me, would you please help me?' in native English.

then they will be like 'oh okay.. so he CAN speak'
