look in the mirror before speaking

[Emrld]

So I was in one of the wonderful national chains we all love (bullseye)

And I just happened to be wearing a red shirt . . .with denium crop pants, flip flops, carrying a purse and a hand held shoping basket. (not pusing a buggy/cart)
Another person walks up to me and asks where to find a product. I just kinds look at them and say I am not sure. She then says "You mean you work here and don't know where to find ______"
I just kinda look at them for a moment . . .she then added "Well your wearing a red shirt"
I then say "True I am weaing a red shirt, denium, flip flops and my purse. You yourself are wearing a red shirt does that mean you work here?" She looked down and realized I was correct she wasalso wearing a red shirt. She then looked up at me blushing and said "Have you ever had one of those days where the world is telling you to slow down?"
I said "Yes, I have" and then I walked on.

I do enjoy it when their own logic works against them.

Eheh... I might do that. Those sorts of days hit me a lot. x_x

memorable incident: If you wear red, you work at *store*. I was in middle school (note: I'm in college now, and I look 12. Imagine how young I looked!) and I went to a private Catholic school. Our "PE Days" shirt was red... with the school emblem in bright gold. I generally knew where things were in the store, so I'd usually just answer... but how anyone could mistake me for working there is a mystery.

At least she had the decency to be embarrassed about it. So many SCs, after a situation like that, proceed to hunt down a manager and have a hissy-fit, demanding that you be fired from the store you don't work at.

I get reactions like that on occasion, and I'm not even wearing anything resembling a uniform. I have a number of security shirts from my usual summer job and often wear them as regular t-shirts. It can get annoying after a while.

I couldn't imagine that happening. Unless they were too dumb to understand the concept of not necessarily working in a place you shop.

And at that point, their logic eats them again, because by that standard, since they shop there, they must work there. And if they work there, they must know where everything is!

[Grumpy]

I used to work for a construction company who gave us orange t-shirts every so often. Everytime I wore one to Home Depot people would stop me and ask where things were. If they were nice and I knew where it was, I'd tell them. If I didn't know, I'd tell them I didn't work there and show them the company logo on my T-shirt.

If they were jerks I'd tell them we were out of stock and wouldn't have any in for three days, or send them on a wild goose chase around the store.
