p.s. get the paper and go to the drugstore are different levels. For the paper - no grooming / t-shirt / sweats

you see, this is why I asked the question. I live across the street (literally 40 feet) from Walgreens, which has about 3 food aisles and lots of homegoods. this supplies many of my day to day needs. I typically go there in "getting the newspaper attire" - which is absolutely no grooming at all - but I'm thinking I shouldn't.

If you are a regular there (and why wouldn't you be?), I think you could get away with an occasional no shower/hat/t-shirt/shorts/flip-flops scenario. However, I wouldn't so this evertime because then the employees will secretly say "Here's comes that scummy guy from across the street!"
