COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A new Ohio State study finds women who get the most attention at clothing stores may the ones least in need of help.
Researchers observed the way customers were treated at three plus-size women's clothing stores and concluded that women who are well-dressed and well-groomed generally get the best service.
Consumer sciences professor and study co-author Sharron Lennon said salespeople at the stores were rated on their congeniality and their speed in greeting customers.
She said her team found the clerks were friendlier and often gave faster service to women with more fashionable and attractive clothing, hair and makeup.
