How much do looks play a part in the workplace, are the "beautiful people" shown any sort of discrimination? How much does a person's physical appearance and/or the way they dress play a part in how they are treated? Do you expect to be treated a certain way based upon how you look?

At my present job we buy an incredible amount of networking equipment. It's hard not to notice that the sales teams from various vendors always include a cute female in a short skirt. Apparently it's considered a plus in sales. From the technical side of things, it's a non-issue in our workplace. Young, old, cute, ugly, if you perform you will do well. Provocative clothing just wouldn't cut it in my line of work. If you can throw a router in a rack and cable it up while wearing a short skirt and heels, more power to ya. I bet you wouldn't try it twice.
