Best "Do you work here?" ever!

[edible_hat]

There I am, standing behind the counter, wearing my shirt with the company logo, one hand on the register, the other hand holding the communications book (which has "[STORE NAME] COMMUNICATIONS, FOR STAFF ONLY" written on the cover), and this guy comes in and says:

"Do you work here?"

[fish3k1]

This deserves some kind of recognition for retarded questions :P

[Boozy]

Some people speak before their brains catch up with them.

I'd bet that this guy has at one point answered "Yes" when his wife asked, "Does this make me look fat?"

Too bad you couldn't have spewed out something along the lines of Mad magazine's "Snappy Answers To Stupid Questions"
'No, I don't work here, I'm researching my next Oscar winning performance.."
"No, pretending to be an employee here is my sexual fetish!"

More like: "No, that has nothing to do with it"

(pointing to co-worker) "No, I stand here and watch that guy do all the work."

My best story. A busy Saturday. I am in full garb with green barista apron, etc. I am tying and lifting garbage bag in the can right by the front door. A woman by the mug/chatchki display and woman taps me on the shoulder, and yes, asks me if I work there. I was so tempted to say no.

[simplyanother]

I always answer no.

I mean, come on...I could understand asking people who aren't wearing the stupid red apron, but I don't wear that damned thing unless I'm on the clock.

[Apathy]

I always answer no.

Does that make people go away?

While working at CVS if I was asked that question when it was quite obvious that I was working, I would reply:
"Nope I work at CVS"
I got quite a few confused looks followed by laughs when I did that. Nobody ever got angry because I was always willing to help them after.

Whenever I wear my Orange apron I get asked "do you work here."

[Becks]

I'm still in love with answering "No, but I'm a really big fan."

[IHateStupidCustomers]

You should have just gave him a 'you're-an-idiot' look and said "No." And gone back to reading, lol

[OfficeSlug]

No.

I got in trouble once because a couple saw me working later on and TOLD THE CSM !!

Ooh, I like that one.

The truly stupid people won't get it at all and will wander off, and the ones with brains (who are more likely to complain about other smart-aleck answers) will usually just laugh it off.
