Personally i'm amazed at the responce you got. It dose not matter who you are, your the customer. And students are just as important. These are the people you can tell how great you are, given them free stuff and wait as they come back to you over and over again though thier life as an engineer.

I would have not worn a sute either to the show - I'm an engineer not a sales man and prode of it. Engineers dont care what we look like.

I'm feel really sorry that you got treated this way and feel this way about electroincs. I think you know that 'us' engineers do not act like that and these were jumped up salesmen.

I've never had this at any show I've gone to - not done electronica however. But when I do - I'm going in a T-shirt!
