I think the way you described yourself...knee lenght skirt, canvas shoes, normal shirt gives off the impression of a more "weak" woman..Walking in that store, you probably felt unconfortable, seeing all those scary geeks, and it showed that you weren't so confident...
However, your friend dresses sexy, displaying that she's very self confident and has a strong temper..which doesn't seem like something they could get away so easily.
I don't know, however maybe a more determined look on your face would help a lot.
