Customer hostile uniforms

[Crossbow]

Apprenty that's what the Mart of Wal has changed to recently. At least, if the two different people that asked me On Sunday if I worked there are any indication.

I've been asked if I worked someplace before, but usually at a computer of other tech store. Never a big box retailer.

I was wearing jeans and a tan t-shirt with a pair of medieval archers on it, with the writing "There's always someone who needs to be shot." Um, yeah. Someow I don't think this is the normal uniform for WallyWorld.

At least the old guy was polite about it. The sucktastic EW, on the other hand... thank you so much for proving the statement that I was wearing.

WTF?!?! Navy blue shirts and tan khakis have been the dress code there for at least the last SEVEN YEARS.

I really do believe the average customer intelligence has dropped significantly over the last couple years.

ok completely off topic. I NEED THIS SHIRT

[evilfarmer]

....I want that shirt! Where did you get it?

[MoonCat]

You were wearing the opposite: instead of blue shirt and tan pants, you had a tan shirt and blue pants! I guess all they saw were the colors!

Some people are idiots.

Got it at Pennsic War a number of years ago. Picked it up at the same time as the one that says "Archer: Go ahead, run. You'll just die tired."

Amen. Current theory is that I was the most sober person in the store...

It's a Walmart; you probably were.

I remember being mistaken for an employee of a national supermarket once, while I was shopping for T shirts for my lad.

Their uniform? Navy trousers and red / navy shirts.

I was wearing? Jeans and a black and white 'Lost Satellites' T shirt.

I just got mistaken yesterday for an employee at a local grocery store.

They wear light blue shirts with their logo on it, black pants, and black work shoes.

I was wearing a navy blue t-shirt that had "Santa Fe Opera" on it, jeans, and flip-flops. What made it even better is that this genius had just walked by three people that do work there to get to me....

[cindybubbles]

Maybe next time they ask, ask them this: "Why do you ask? What part of me and/or my outfit makes you think that I work here?"

[Safire]

Last time I got mistaken for an employee the uniform was a red shirt and tan pants. I was wearing a black shirt, green jacket, blue jeans and boots. I just stared at the guy for a good minute (Bonus: he wanted toilet paper. We were standing in the toilet paper aisle)

People truly amaze me.

The last time I got mistaken for an employee was when I was in a black uniform and on my break. I'd popped over the road for some deodorant and this old gentleman stopped me. Poor thing was mortified but to be honest he had every reason to think I worked there because of my black t-shirt and trousers. So it totally boggles my mind when there are people going up to someone in a controversial t-shirt and jeans and thinking they work there!

Also, what did the customer say to you that made you want to shoot them? I'm curious!

I actually did ask this twit that. Got a catbutt face.

Like I told a coworker today, I'm nice on the clock, because they pay me to be nice. Off the clock, you get my real opinions.

Hell, my boss gets my real opinions when I'm ON the clock. Most of the time she agrees with me.
I'm paid to be thorough and detail oriented, not nice.
