The man explained how he dressed up in shabby clothes and worn-out shoes on purpose. He put smears and made his face dirty and then tried to enter restaurants. None of the waiters allowed him to step inside. They said things like “You can’t eat here.. not dressed like that…come on”

Polite Behavior

When the man reached the last restaurant, the waiter told him to eat outside. He was fine with him paying for the food but couldn’t let him sit inside with other guests. He was repeatedly judged on his appearance despite his polite behavior.

Changed Appearance

He then went back to a nearby parking lot and changed into expensive clothes. The man changed his appearance and drove back to the block in an expensive sports car. And the treatment he got from people took a 180 degrees turn. 

180 Turn

Despite his rude remarks and comments to the waiters, everyone was nice and respectful to him. He said things like, “what’s the most expensive dish on your menu…tell me fast.. don’t waste my time” And the waiters were still polite to him. 

Materialistic

Compared with when the man was dressed as a homeless man, he was not rude to anybody. Yet people treated him badly and didn’t even allow him to have a meal at the restaurants. This goes on to tell people how our society is so materialistic. Shiny clothes and fancy cars earn you respect even if you don’t deserve it. 

Apologizing

The waiter told the man how sorry he is for treating him badly. He didn’t mean to be condescending and admitted that the way he treated him was uncalled for. He shouldn’t have done it and he is sorry about it. The man looked at him and said, “yes it was condescending and you should be sorry.”
