Have you ever been at a store, and then people just come up to you asking for help? For some reason, I get mistaken for a worker whenever I go to Urban Outfitters. I never know what to say, except I just apologize and walk off feeling stupid.
Haha... So have you ever been mistaken for a worker or anyone else? |

Once. At a shoe store. I stood there confused, "Um. I don't work here." And then I left.

Happens all the time when I go to anchor blue since I shop a lot there and for some reason when I go i'm wearing anchor blue clothes, since all the workers wear are the clothes people think I work there. Its always
"Uhhh... I don't work there but (insert whateve here) is over there" |

Yep. I was with a friend and we were browsing around a shoe store, I was eating some chips and some guy comes up to me and ask, "do you have this in size 9?" and put the sample shoe right in front of my face. Lmao, it was so funny.

When I went to JCPenny's.. none of the workers there have a special uniform.. maybe an name tag but that's about it. I was walking around, browsing some clothes.. and this lady comes up to me and says, "I'm not sure if this is on sale because the sale isn't for this brand of clothing." (or something on that sort). I just looked at her blanky and said "I'm sorry.. but I don't work here
 "

Yes. Quite a few times around Queens Center at random clothes store. I'm just like, "No, sorry, I don't work- err... ;)" and then they go "Oh, sorry" and we both walk away feeling awkward.

It has happened to me loads of times.
I think it was circuit city, but I was wearing a red pull on shrit with the polo type collar and black slacks with it. Anyway, the workers there were wearing the same exact thing, the only difference was that their red shirts had 'circuit city' embroidered on it. And everytime I was looking at the computers, cameras or games, customers would come up to me asking "how much is this?" or "could you recommend me a good one?". It was pretty funny, I apologized to them and said I didn't work there. It also happens at pet stores for some reason. |
