Do people confuse you for an employee at a store you're shopping in?

    The majority of the times that I visit Office Depot I get asked if I am an employee there. Especially when I wear blue shirt and black slacks. The other day I went to the other 'depot' Home Depot and was asked by a very lost lady "Excuse me, do you work here?!?". I told her no but I think she may have thought I worked there because I was carrying around a trash bin which I was buying for recycling purposes. I am Hispanic if that makes any sort of difference.

    I love ACTING like I work at Best Buy and correcting the employees' statements about technology. :p

    AND, yes, I've worn a red shirt and khaki pants in Target. FAIL. :(
    I think you're looking for MoBalls... :grin:

    Weird you should post this. I've been asked on three separate incidents if I could help someone at Barnes and Noble in the past few weeks. They all seemed embarrassed when I said I didn't work there. I guess I know my way around the store, but I thought it was strange once, but downright bizarre the third time.

    A few times in your basic clothing stores.
    But considering they don't really wear uniforms, but just the brands clothing, probably not that rare.

    A few months ago I went to Target, not realizing I was wearing a red shirt and khaki pants. I got asked questions by shoppers all over the store . . . when I checked-out, I asked if I could get an employee discount, but they said no :(

    Happened to me once lol. I was wearing a red collared shirt (no idea why, I rarely ever wear red shirts) at a Staples (may have been Office Depot). Somebody asked me a question about some product (or where to find a product, don't remember exactly). Kinda awkward.

    Totally!

    I was at the doctor the other day, randomly walking around exam rooms as I always do. In one exam room this older guy sees me and drops his pants. Of course, I do what any normal, caring person would do and check his prostate. Boy, was he embarrassed when the REAL doc showed up! We all had a good chuckle and got some ice cream to celebrate. Good times.
