Exactly!

There is an old and classic piece of dating advice that says you can tell a lot about a man by how he treats the server.........Maybe that advice should be extended to include how he treats sales people........but I guess people do not usually go to Beall's or Publix on dates. Maybe they should........

Women could conduct experiments early in the game and possibly save a lot of time.
