I know first impressions count big . . .but should they always? When a waitress/waiter waits on my table it is about the service. Were they attentive to our needs? Sure we would not want one to wait on us smelling like a skunk or hair falling out of their heads, green teeth but just because they are not dressed in white shirt/black slacks and tie doesn't automatically mean they do not give good service. Some waiters/waitresses might now have the means to wear the best for the job. Cleanliness and manners go along way with me. Yes, we live in a society that puts too much emphasis on whether the person is wearing the top of the line clothing instead of great service. When you dine out in a set down restaurant that has waiters/waitresses does it really count what the brand name of the clothing is? - Mary Ann Brown
