Why is it that when a person is dressed in a suit and looks like a successful professional, people address them as Sir or Madam and treat that same person differently when they go out dressed in jeans and a t-shirt?

Where Would You Be Today?
Somerset Maugham, the English writer, once wrote a story about a janitor at St. Peter’s Church in London.
One day, a young vicar discovered, that the janitor was illiterate and fired him. Jobless, the man invested his meager savings in a tiny tobacco shop, where he prospered.
So, he bought another shop, and expanded until he ended up with a chain of tobacco stores and a personal worth of several hundred thousand dollars.
One day the man’s banker said, “You’ve done well for an illiterate, but where would you be if you could read and write?”
Well, replied the man, “I’d be janitor of St. Peter’s Church in Neville Square.
