    Maybe she wasn't laughing at the wife beater. Maybe she has just gotten a joke she was told before

    November is wife beater season. I wear them to Walmart no prob. But I was at Costco and some stuck up sorority girl looked at me and laughed. Who is in the right here?

    Last I checked, Costco does not have a dress code. Granted, a greater percentage of Costco regulars tend to wear smart casuals or dressy fitness attires from my observation having been to 5 different Costco Centers in 2 States (NY/CA) within my 20 years of American immersion - this is a free country... Her snicker was off. There just comes a point in anyone's life (age) where forms of slamming/ridicule/judgment et al are inappropriate. If you in a vest offended her on sight, then her disdain via her mockery of you through laughter, was declasse from the vantages of propriety. One just does NOT dress someone else down. Costco is not a Formal Venue for crying out loud. It's not as though she's at the Royal Ascot or the President's Ball or a Private Country Club or the Harvard Club. It's just Costco! IF your attire was wrong for the venue, then Management would have barred you from entry. Reeks of pretentiousness!

    Are you certain it's about your tank? Or could it have been something else? High-school mean girl behaviour from a sorority girl who is not a High-schooler, yet marked you as a worthy target? Why?!

    Costco + Sorority girl = Who cares? It's a bulk bargain store ... Same company in different countries, with the same CEO is called Cost You Less. High End? I think not. Go figure!
