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).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
