So you think putting on that suit makes you look sharp. Well trimmed, fitting and yes, smoothly ironed. Everyone turns as your smile and smartness is really attractive. Think twice before that casts you into costs in Molo town. Here is why;
Double charge:
The barber doubles your basic perennial charge for your beard shave. Paying 20 bob as a normalcy, you hand the kinyozi a 50 bob note and he tells you'll be better without change that day! Why? The dress code demands a hiked pay!
Boda boda sweet talk:
Every boda boda operator craves to serve you as a special client. Tell them to ride slowly, hand over the helmet, you instantly get it. They have an expertise on giving you the tastiest jokes and stories trending in the town. The surprise dawns on you the moment you get to the destination only to lack change! "Ah man, ungeniambia ukiwa tao tungetafuta loose." And that said, your 50 or 70 bob balance from the day earned 200 fades off...
Chai for buddies:
You can't put on a suit and miss being spotted by your class one desk mate . He will be jovial to see what a fine man you've grown in to be as he introduces you to his "guys". He will retell your good old days, how he used to protect you.(Yet your memory can't trace any of the given stories). His guys laugh and yes, upon your departure, a request for tea to remember olden days!
No kibanda:
You're thirsty but you can't visit the famous mandazi-uji for 50 bob that you tour daily. Even the revellers you share the joint with throw you a quizzical stare!
Buy at your own risk:
The best blunder to make while in a suit is to risk a purchase. A pair of slippers normally retailing at a hundred bob doubles. Why? Suit means money. You can't even bargain, you're treated like an Odiero!
With the experiences lingering, put on a suit on condition that your pockets are full otherwise, let the bankers enjoy the suits!
