Room interview
Thirty seconds. Exact kit.
Three facts change the answer. Nothing here creates an account or leaves this device.
Your answer
Your kit
Check what you already own. Next visit, QuarterMaster shows the gaps.
The standing kit
One answer, with room to move.
The interview changes the lane. These are the physical positions underneath it.
Shirt
Heavy white tee or chambray shirt
Clean neckline and enough cloth to hold shape.
Trouser
Stone five-pocket trouser
Lightens the room and still reads intentional.
Shoes
Gum-sole loafer or clean court sneaker
Relaxed without looking forgotten.
Order
The coffee you actually like
No palate performance required.
Conduct
The outfit is only half the answer.
A room remembers timing, attention, and usefulness longer than cloth.
- Arrive available, not rushed.
- Keep the phone off the table.
- Let the second coffee be earned by the conversation.

Casual still needs one visible act of care.
Clean shoes, a live collar, or a useful outer layer is enough. Without one, ease reads as neglect.
