Kilted all weekend

[efer]

I wore my kilts all weekend..a first for me. I loved it. I typically have been wearing them at least once a week, off work (I have a 4 day work week).

We went away for the weekend and enjoyed many wondering comments.

We did have this one bad experience at a local restaurant. The service was bad, not very polite. We felt ignored despite not being very busy. My wife asked "do you think it's because you're kilted?!?" I said "I didn't think so, but you never though."
Anyone else ever feel jilted 'cause they were kilted?!?

Cheers,
Eric

Only time and place I ever felt jilted because of being kilted was about ten years ago in the Queensberry Arms at Annan. Ann and I went in for a meal. We didn't have a reservation but they were advertising all day food on a blackboard outside so we went in and were told by the lady that yes they had a spare table and we could order a meal. We were shown to a table, given the menu and told we could order at the bar when ready. We chose our menu and Ann went off to the toilet to do her insulin injection (she is diabetic), while I went up to the bar to place our order. I was wearing my black watch kilt (the one recently passed to the Kilts Adoption Agency). This obnoxious guy at the bar said he wasn't prepared to serve us with food as the chef would be busy as there was a coach party coming in later. When Ann came out of the toilet having done her insulin, we then had to find another eatery quickly. I got the impression the guy behind the bar didn't want me kilted in his restaurant being a point of interest to his coach party of tourists when they arrived, particularly as I had received good friendly service when I had been there previously wearing trousers. This is the only place I've ever felt was anti-kilt. Every other bar or restaurant where I've worn the kilt I've always felt my choice of clothing had a positive or at least neutral effect on the standard of service.

Never once...If anything I've seen that I get better service due to the kilt. Far more people pay attention to a man in a kilt because it is something that isn't seen every day ( unfortunatly) but is at the same time not wierd ( like a grown man in a bunny suit ). I think the worst thing that has every happened as far as service goes is the occasional waitress ( server for you restaraunt types) running into a table or wall at first sight of the kilt. Other than that, it is a great thing...

Glad that you were Kilted all weekend. Never really felt jilted while Kilted, but ofte times people just cannot deal with things out of the "norm"

the other weekend I went out kilted to the reading pa outlets to pick up an item for my wife , I got normal help from all the shops and even a comment from a group of older church going colored woman we like you kilt, what a possitive feelig for my day

Don't feel like I've ever been jilted when kilted.

I too think sometimes I get better service. Certainly at places I frequent - easier for them to remember me.

Did get what seemed like extra special service at a class restaurant down in Phoenix a few weeks ago. My lady and I are straight, but not narrow. We met a lesbian friend for dinner.

There was a wild birthday party going on and the people at that party were gay guys. The waitress seemed to give special service to us....maybe she always was that good (a rarity around here), or was emphatuated with our friend, or thought I was gay because I was kilted.

Sometimes, you just get great service.

I was out recently with some friends and the waiter gave us amazing service and seemed particularly taken with me and my kilt. He made several comments about how good I looked in it.

A new acquiantance commented that she felt the service and the attention were due to the kilt and our overtly gay waiter.

And old friend of mine disagreed. He said that I always got good service no matter the gender of the server and even before I began wearing a kilt.

She seemed perplexed, so he explained that I always got good service because no matter the gender of the waitstaff I have a bad habit of flirting with them mercilessly. I get excellent service, frequent freebies, and there's often a phone number on my copy of the check.

Sadly, I don't even try to do it. And personally I don't think it's flirting. So I had to protest. I thought it was horrible that just because I engage the server in conversation and treat them like a real human being doesn't mean I'm flirting.

The table erupted in laughter when the bill arrived. On the back was written a phone number with the note "Call Me" and a heart sign AND there was no sign of our desserts or coffees on the bill.

What a sad comment on the world that simply treating someone like human being is considered a come on.

But then, my mom was a shameless flirt too!

hmm....sounds like a hell of a way to earn money for another kilt! I'll have to try that some day...

I've never been jilted either. I have noticed extra attention from waitresses though.
