Pennies and candy corn I wound up not wearing a costume to work today like they wanted us to (take that corporate America!) and in retrospect I think it was a good move, for 2 main reasons: #1: Talking to cute girls. It's tough to get a girl to take you seriously when you're dressed like a big red M & M. By wearing my usual dapper attire, it was easier to talk to the female population. Sure, most of the ladies who come in there are 65+, but age ain't nothin but a number, right? Right? That being said, I still left work without anyone's phone number (probably a good thing). #2: Getting into fights with customers. Once again, you have a better chance of winning an argument if you don't look like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. You're on a level field and they can't say, "At least I'm not 21 years old and dressed like a Ninja Turtle." That usually causes me to lose most of my arguments, being that I dress like a Ninja Turtle every Tuesday and Thursday. Good thing today is Friday. Huge advantage right there.
