Outside sales reps that don't do anything

I work at a lumber yard and we have probably a dozen vendors and distributors that we use fairly regularly. There's probably only about two outside sales reps that actually do anything. The rest just pop in every so often and shoot the breeze. Everything is handled by people in the office. When I ask other people about them they're like, oh yeah Todd is worthless, just call or email Michelle, she's great. Anyone else notice this phenomenon?

Actual blue collar work shirts?

It seems like there's still some guys in the industrial sector that wear blue or grey button up work shirts. Seems like everyone else just wears t-shirts, hi vis depending on the setting.
