So I spent a wonderful day with Luvable Lutheran today in Minneapolis at the Mall of America and at her apartment helping her clean and pack for her move to Chicago. While we were at the mall, we went into the Coach store where a woman who obviously worked there was standing.
Now, I don't usually dress up to go to a mall. I was wearing jeans and some keds with an average Anna-worn shirt. Apparently, this was not classy enough to be worn into a Coach store. The woman didn't greet us, ask us if we needed help finding anything, and was generally unfriendly. Not to mention that she very obviously looked down at my shoes at one point, and looked away with disgust. Now, my Keds didn't cost me an arm and a leg ($40 for a good pair of sneakers is reasonable).
Thank God that Jesus doesn't look at us that way despite our filthy rags!

To add to what AJ wrote.... The lady didn't even say hi to us as we entered the store. Granted we were in casual attire. I mean I don't usually shop in my business professional attire! I'm looking for a briefcase/portfolio for my first day of my new job as I don't think the backpack will cut it
Now if we had been in business professional attire, I wonder if we'd been treated differently? Thanks Be to God that God doesn't treat us as we ought to be treated as AJ said, but we are robed in Christ's blood and made perfect.

That reminds me of when my wife and I went into Bombay Company. When we were engaged, we always loved window shopping there. We walked in, wearing very casual clothes.
The first words from the clerk?
"The clearance is in the back, over there."
Harumph!

The presumption of clerks never ceases to amaze me, especially when they could have just lost a big sale and a potential commission or bonus by insulting a customer!
