I always get the opposite. I'm always shopping in the store and people come up to me and ask me questions looking for this or that. They usually never ask, " do you work here?"
For example, I was at Pep Boys (autoparts store and service) the other day looking at a manual for a gas generator like what you'd take on a "camping" trip in an RV. This guy comes up and asks me if we had any cables (he didn't know exactly what he was looking for). Turns out he was looking for a an engine hoist or a "come-along" that used chain instead of steel cable or nylon strap to lift an engine out of a vehicle. I helped him figure it out until he asked me where the "come-alongs" were. I then told him, "Actually I don't work here." It was only then that I noticed that the employees were wearing the same blue polo shirt that I was. Only their polo shirts had "Pep Boys" embroidered on the right breast. I had a good laugh about it after I bought my windshield washer fluid and left.
Is it bad when your wardrobe makes you look like one of the employees at a store?
(BTW they were wearing black slacks, dress shoes and a blue polo shirt. I was wearing stonewashed blue jeans, ratty sneakers and a blue polo shirt)
