Having a prescription filled by a girl in the pharmacy chewing gum hardly gives me a great deal of confidence in the transaction, and I feel somewhat relieved when I see the older guy in the lab coat actually doing it. Fair or unfair, we end up using a range of short cuts to quickly evaluate people in our everyday lives.
I read something about this recently - the people at the pharmacy wear white coats because it's expected of them, not because it's actually needed in the work. Most work at a pharmacy is to get a bottle of pills and ring it up in the cash register. But the white coat sends an image of clean professionalism. I can understand why it's soothing.

White coats have awesome power. They can even turn you into a Nazi!

My ex, however, works in a design company, where the uniform is smartish jeans (nothing baggy/faded) and plain t-shirts. He looks great and feels more comfortable in those, plus I feel it's much more suited to the art/graphic design environment. Finding a bunch of men hunched over at their drawing boards and computers dressed in an inflexible suit would probably look really awkward and be very uncomfortable, not to mention the tie would constantly get in the way.
Traditionally they'd wear bowties due to just that problem. It's also why waiters and magicians wear them, only less ink smudges and more pigeon handling. Plus you'd never wear your jacket at the desk, it'd be more for when you were doing non-drafting related things. Coming in, leaving, talking to clients, trying to sex up the secretary, etc.

I probably would have been content with "guy in a suit", but the chewing gum part was the big confidence remover.
