Well, the prices are good and the employees are friendly, so I'd say yes, I shall return.

Have met many Scots I'd never have met were I not wearing a kilt. They even come up to me in UKs and ask about them.
Some are vacationing, some are living here in the States.
They always seem disappointed at first when they hear my American English, like they'd been hoping for someone from back home.
None have hassled me about the kilt, it seems to bring them joy.
Bet if you'd arrived at the store kilted she'd have come to you.

Her and every other saleswomen in the store. At least, that's what happens to me.  I've never had such good service in my life!

Update - stanger than fiction
reference my original post. I went back sevefral days ago kilted to Kohls. I hadn't even gotten into the store when a woman asked me if I was Scottish, in an English accent. It turns out she was born in Scotland and was visiting Georgia from England, where she lives. I just replied that I'm of English and Scottish descent, and find the kilt a comfortable piece of clothing. It was the SWK saffron, and she was very complementary.
Go figure. My first two kilt encounters "out in the real world", in Georgia, are with Scots. :confused:
