To set the scene... I was behind the register, typing away, helping a customer, wearing TWO lanyards, a vest, and a LARGE name.. tag... type thing, all saying my work place name in visible letters.
A girl walked up and said...
Wait for it...
"Excuse me... Do You Work Here?"
...
I couldn't help it. I stopped all motion, stared at her, blinked a few times, and all the while my brain's SCREAMING at me "Nooo!! NOOO!! YOU MUST NOT BE SARCASTIC!!! NOOoooooooo....!"
Then her friend/boyfriend/husband walks up right behind her and half-shouts "SHE'S BEHIND THE REGISTER!! HELLOOoooo!?!"
I couldn't help it at that point, I laughed.
Then, I find out later, the SAME girl had done the same thing to a coworker, who was wearing... a vest, a lanyard, LARGE name tag thing, and was straightening CDs AND had a store-use-only type wheeled table-cart thing. She, also, had to stare and blink.
It made my day and frustrated me all at once.
But it made my day more when her friend-person replied for me.
