I'm not familiar with who she is, but the question struck me hard.

She sometimes encounters racism, so she prepares as if it always could happen. For me as a white person, it's just a matter of looking reasonably presentable.

@poemblaze My answer is yes. I would. I’d also make sure I have a man with me, because if you’re a woman and you’re alone and you look poor, you won’t get served. This happened to me when I went furniture shopping the last time.

@Siren_six @poemblaze this doesn’t surprise me. Car salesmen can be real dicks.

@poemblaze I don’t get dressed up for anything since I retired. I DID wear a tux to walk my niece down the aisle last month.

@poemblaze I don’t bother. In the end it’s your credit score that matters not your pants. I dress down for everything. Keeping expactions low 😂

@AllisonKaye @poemblaze what has been so terrible is when salesman give me no attention or respect & no real help, but when I act like I’m leaving & pull out my Mercedes car keys & flash them in front of them, to ask one final question,it’s amazing how suddenly they have the time to help me. It really makes me sick.

@MSRegiGirl the last car I purchased was about a year ago. I knew what I wanted they had it on the lot. I called them gave them my info and my trade in info told them what I wanted for it lol get the papers ready call me back when it’s done I will come test drive and sign the paperwork as long as the truck was indeed what they claimed. I refuse to sit all day at a dealership playing their game. I reduce sales people to order takers. They work for me. I love my new truck 😁@poemblaze

@MSRegiGirl pretty sure I was doing yard work that day and went there as I was. What you see is what you get with me. I have worked hard to accept myself as I am. What other people think about my shoes matters not. @poemblaze
