I guess I just fail to see how the customer needs to wear clothing better suited to a frat party. If you are an adult, and want to be treated like an adult, then act (and yes, even dress) like an adult. I view this less as a matter of comfort, and even less as a matter of free speech, than I do as a lack of respect for those around you.

It frosts my nuts, when I take my wife to the symphony (yes, Omaha actually has a good one), the ballet, the opera, the playhouse, or even a fancy restaurant, and I see that guy. The guy that always wears the jeans and t-shirt. There is a time and a place for that. Have a little class. Have a little dignity. Have a little respect, and learn which is which.

Now, Southwest may be a "low-end" airline, and the days of dressing in a suit and tie, for air travel, are long gone, but when did traveling by air become akin to traveling Greyhound?
