Unfortunately, this is true.
We are all often judged by our appearance initially. Whether or not the initial judgment is warranted comes after based upon interaction. I am treated very respectfully when I travel in a suit. I notice that when wearing a T, I sometimes get the "teenager" treatment. Is this right? Absolutely not, but its life. All types of discrimination exists and I have personally learned to live with it.
I have made it a habit to wear a sports jacket regardless of if I'm in a dress shirt or a T. Not only do I like the look
, it also helps ensure I am treated professionally.
