My 17 year old sons work at T G & Y.  They are told that they are paid
25 cents an hour to wear a tie.  They receive 25 cents more than minimum
each hour.  The only people who wear ties consistently are the service
people ( read: clerks ) such as shoe store clerks, used car dealers,
waiters.  We have been told to "dress for success" by emmulating your
"betters";  which "better" catagory are you copying when you wear a tie?

I realize that life here in New Mexico is easier on the wardrobe than
life back east, but I don't understand why.  Perhaps it's because we
don't keep slaves or consider a person "bought" just because we pay them
wages...
