I just read one of those random lists on Facebook. It was people's stories of being mistaken for a store employee. Anyone have a funny story? Here's mine:
it was the day before thanksgiving and on my way home from work, I stopped at Kroger to pick up a few last minute things. I got asked questions by three different people. I shopped at that Kroger all the time, so I did actually know where the things were they were looking for were located. One lady was funny, she asked where the breadcrumbs were. I turned towards her to answer and she goes "oh my gosh, you don't work here, I'm so sorry!". I said it's okay, they're the next aisle over, with the baking stuff.
After the second person, I realized the problem. I was still dressed in my khakis and blue polo shirt from my job. Which was almost the same shade as the Kroger shirts.
That is funny. But I have mostly had office jobs so no mistaking me! Although I have helped people out in the grocery store. i see this older man in one of those cart riders with a shopping companion, young kid so am sure he knows nothing about how to choose fresh veggies and the like. One day I ran into them and the older person was talking to his helper about his lettuce and spinach rotting, so I told him to put a paper towel in the bag and that would soak up the moisture and help it last longer. He was happy about that. Ran into him 2 weeks later and he recognized me and told what a great idea it was.

At the grocery store, people asking where things are.

On another day before thanksgiving shopping trip. There was a guy and his teenage daughter at the grocery store. They had obviously been sent with a list. I was in the dairy section and hear the guy say he's going to get bread and sent the girl for eggs (which were right next to me). She gets to the eggs, takes one look and yells back, which ones? The dad gives a confused look and says eggs. She replies, there are like 10 kinds. I saw the panic on the guy's face, so I told her, you want the blue pack. Dad looks relieved. I ran into them again in frozen foods. He asked me which pie crust to buy. And thanked me. Said his wife would kill him if he came home with the wrong stuff. I also heard him muttering something about who knew there were different kinds of eggs
I helped some poor guy who was trying to buy sanitary napkins for his wife. They'd just had a baby and she couldn't go herself. He had screenshot of what she wanted buy couldn't find it. Grabbed him two packs and he beelined for the check out!
