Good Lord, Andy, I shop there and I am not a 'dresser.' Actually I don't
see anyone that is. What WF have you been in that has this sort of
clientele. I've been in the one in Georgetown where the politicians and
government workers, etc. probably go, and it certainly didn't look that way.
Nor in Fairfax which is really a hot-shot WF.

One place I do find that people look a little more classy looking is in
Trader Joe's, Darien, one of the richest communities in CT, and I certainly
don't see any Hummers, BMW's but perhaps a Mercedes; that is if one is about
to run me down. But it is a younger group of people shopping there.

One thing I've found is that generally the people working in these stores
are not as sulky as the run-of-the-mill supermarkets.
