"At times, guys are afraid of wearing good clothes for fear of being made fun of."
"I wear casual clothes to class."
"I don't like the style of clothes [at Redwood and Ross]."
"I don't like getting dressed up too much. I mainly only wear jeans and sweaters."
"I shop at home."
"I prefer to buy my clothes in Springfield from stores I'm familiar with."
"I would like to see you [Redwood and Ross] stock reasonably priced shirts for school wear."
"Most of the stores around this area lack that certain cosmopolitan atmosphere conducive to quality shopping."
"Personnel are snobs."
"There is just too much variety in clothes that one can never have everything one wants."
"We need more clothing stores out here and with good quality."
"Bring the prices down a bit and you'll see me much more often! I like buying clothes [nice clothes] and would do
so more often if it was affordable. Remember, students are on a limited budget."
"I really enjoy nice clothes, but seldom can afford them."
"I work at [a competing clothing store]."
"Mostly wear punk! Sorry! "
"There is not the same selection available for men as for women. Therefore, the greatest majority of my purchases
are made in the St. Louis area."
"Mom buys my clothes."
"Bought my clothes at home in Denver."

"I'm not avidly into fashion. Ask me about stereos, cars, or physics."
"Haven't had time [to shop]."
"Bought all my clothing in the suburban shopping areas near my home."
"No money."
"I shop in Chicago."
"I don't have a chance to get off campus too often, so I do most shopping at home where the stores are better."
"Wasn't in the market to buy. Went in with a friend."
"I live in New York. I know where to go there."
"In relation to how much money I have, men's clothing prices are too high."
"If Redwood and Ross would have more sales, then I would shop there more often. Not only for sale items. As it is
now, I rarely go in because your prices are too high."
"Tell the University to lower tuition and fees."
"I don't like for them to drag out a bunch of clothes for me to try on. All they want to do is make a sale."
