I guess I just don't see the term "gentleman" as a unique description of a well dressed, well mannered, well "monied" man. I think in our society, when the term "gentleman" is used by a stranger, it is used as a respectful term and not as a put down. My sense of what you are saying is that because you were dressed ...uh, casually, you felt that the store guy put you down by using the term. Myself, I personally don't think so...but you were there, maybe there was other "tells" that indicated that that was his intent. Cheers
