Social experiment

My wife and I went shopping for a piano last week and as a little experiment, I decided to see if the salesman would really talk to us. I wore shorts and had on my Teva sandals. My wife and I look pretty young, so we’re usually ignored or get poor service. When we walked into the store, we went over to one of the least expensive pianos and started looking. The first salesman asked if we needed help, we said we were just looking. The second salesman that came over to us not only didn’t ignore us, but spent a lot of time talking to us and telling us about the pianos. In addition, he took us to more expensive pianos! I was pretty shocked, but pleased with the service. I wish more places (including restaurants) were age-blind and treated us like we should be treated.
