Although HansderHun disappoints me greatly by not looking like Peter Pan (as I imagine all Austrians should), he's obviously and infinitely better dressed than Wooster.
My experience with thrift store workers leads me to invariably believe that they are generally at risk for type 2 diabeetus. So with regards to the doughnuts, I urge caution. Sugar diabetes are a curse, not a gift. Maybe consider healthy snacks?

On another note, I had my first "regular" encounter at a SA near me. One of the lady's came out with a cart full of stuff, she recognizes me and we chat briefly. She asks what I am looking for, and I say "everything." She sees that I am wearing PRL and starts sifting through the cart looking for stuff to show me. She actually found a decent classic mesh polo that was three bucks. Then, she went into the back to find stuff for me, but came up short.

 

Then...I get to the checkout counter. There is the manager there (who once botched the discount day once for me several months ago, but he exceeded any mistake by give me a credit far and beyond the mistake he had made). He greets me, remembers me, looks at the cashier and says, "give this man the senior discount, we will see him again."  I pushed my luck and ran back to grab a chocolate banana republic velvet blazer and a Ted Baker chocolate blazer that I wouldn't have paid full price for.  Such a neat moment to have one employee scouring the back for an item (despite not actually wanting what she was looking for) and another proving me an incredible discount.
