If I want to do my Walmart shopping wearing a long black cape and a three cornered hat....?

Question

cuz I like to do so.........am I being a jerk? Seems like the parents with little kids hate me cuz they think it might freak out their kids or something.

Answer 1

to be honest, why would you want to?

shopping is the same whatever you wear.

i could walk around walmart in underwear & it'll still feel the same as if i had a wooly hat & scarf on.

i just dont understand you "/

Answer 2

I don't think so. It might be different but it would defiantly bring a smile to my face. And I could use it as a learning lesson for my children that staring at or judging people is not right. As long as no buddy is getting hurt I don't see the jerk factor.

Answer 3

I expect people would look around for the

cameras, because you were playing a

role.

If you want to wear a cape and a three

cornered hat.....it's OK, by me.  

Answer 4

Sounds kind of late 1700's to me.  I'd find it interesting, and parents should consider it a great time to give kids a little history lesson.

Answer 5

Nothing wrong with dressing the way you want, but I'm pretty certain loss prevention is on your tail the whole time you're in the store.....

Answer 6

smiles...yes people like to try to draw attention to themselves when they cant get any attention anywhere else....which is why i wouldnt give you the satisfaction...if you want my attention...you do it by being yourself,not trying to use gimmicks to try to prove what type person you are...id look and treat you the same as any customer,just like i do with anyone else that does stuff like that....attention seekers arent worthy my attention or my time...

Answer 7

As long as you're not exposing yourself there is nothing wrong with that. In Walmart anyway. It would never do in Target.

Answer 8

Wait till October, then it won't be such a big deal.

Otherwise, Security will keep an eye on you but won't do anything if you don't steal anything.  They will get used to you and just think you are weird.  Homeland Security is a different matter altogether though. Beware of Men In Black.

Answer 9

what is the point of shoppin like that?

Answer 10

I wish more people would go out dressed like that. I could live in 18th century clothes. To me it signifies intelligence (the history connection), individuality and intriguing. s***w the white bread parents with their little kids, it would do them good to see something different once in awhile anyways!

Answer 11

In todays society people don't like anything out of the normal or anything that makes someone stand out too much. I personally don't think it is a big deal.  I would wonder the story behind it if I saw it but I wouldn't hate you because I think it would freak my kid out.  I would think my kids would probably like it.  I wouldn't stress about it.
