It's all about image. When is the last time you bought fruit from a guy with mud on his face(or something worse *heh*)? I don't know what your boss was selling (or if he is a salesman), and i'm not condoning the new guys behaviour, but I am definetly not suprised by his reaction. When you're trying to sell *anything*, you cannot wear whatever you please, and expect people not to notice. You have to dress for success (know your client, don't offend his eyes). After all, would you buy *magic weight loss pills* from a fat guy wearing a thong (keep in mind he's going door to door selling this stuff)? Would you hand over your drivers license to a cop in a $1000 suit?

I hope I made my point (despite the extreme examples).
