Why is it that people tend towards the slovenly? They don't shave, they think T-shirts are proper shirts, and worse.
It wasn't that long ago that putting on a real shirt, tie, and jacket was perfectly normal. Why in a small town near here (and remember, New Jersey is overflowing with small towns) a seedy bar/restaurant (as close to an English pub the US could get) required a jacket. A bar!
Upscale restaurants had the courage to put up signs like "no shoes, no collar, no service". So even if you weren't good-looking, you looked good.
Not anymore - you have money? Come on in! Sure, leave that stupid baseball cap on. Wear your sweat pants. Collars? Who cares?
Your nearby dining curmudgeon with his tie and jacket does. And doesn't like it one single bit.
