Mistaken for a worker, ..have you? Options

[ANG33ZY]

[Babi3xFoOlish]

i had a dentist apointment at 8am. noone was there yet wen i came, so i waited outside n there was also this old couple. when i walk up they was like hi mam, are u a dentist too? im like OH NO. lol
man do i look that OLD. =P

[Smoogrish]

Yeah, it was pretty weird.. I was at Circuit city, and I was wearing this Google shirt (don't ask.. haha), and this mom and her kid came up to me, and they were like, "Excuse me, but do you know whether you stock any sort of typing game?" and I was like "Ehhh?"

[ParanoidAndroid]

Yup in Walmart...i was walking with a box of popcorn and this lady asked me where the canned food section was

[faded23]

I went into Ross once and I still had my nametag from work on and this lady is like....Do you work here? I was all confused and I was like no?? and then I realized like and hour later that I still had my nametag on. I laughed really hard.

[ParanoidAndroid]

^LOL yeah when i forget to take off name tags, i feel like a special ed student taking a field trip or something

[vash1530]

i get that all the time in gamestop and other gamestores. ppl ask me wheres this and whats that. ive gotten used to it tho.

[cLinT_wEStw0oD]

nope...but i've done it lots of times.

[*suddenly she*]

yeah, at the adidas outlet. it was goofy.

[m.ar.i.a]

I'm not sure, but i think once :P ... it would hav been funny if i can remember.. i think >.<

[Socialite]

That happened to me at home depot.
I was wearing the orange apron cause it was hanging on one of the displays.

This lady came up to me and said, "Hank could be please tell me where I can find sprinklers?"

Hank was the name on the apron.

I was confused at first, then I realized why this was happening. So I explained to her, she laughed and walked away.

[cLinT_wEStw0oD]

actually...yea once at the element store in times square

[endofstory]

Yes. I've also been mistaken for a college student (Im 16 and a Soph in HS), a janitor (I was just dusting my locker) and a mom (I was at my younger brothers football practice).

[sweetabandon]

Often! I don't understand why! I'm carrying around my bag/purse. What more do they need? I guess it's because I take my time when i look at things and when I put it back I like putting it back nicely. But come on! I'm wearing a bag!

[talcumpowder]

Yeah.... I was wearing a maroon shirt at Target once and this lady comes up to me and asks me what kind of memory stick her camera takes. So I explained it to her and then she noticed I wasn't wearing a name tag. XD
At Best Buy and Border's too! It's because as I look through the DVD's and books, I put them back in order. Completely random people come up to me and ask where the whatever section is... And I just stare at them, explain it, and go back to what I'm doing.

[K1D]

never.

[Just_Dream]

Almost every time that I go to Papaya or Forever 21, someone taps my shoulder and asks if I work there. I remember being at WalMart and some old lady asked me if I could do a price check on something.. wth.. I wasn't even wearing the walmart workers' vest, much less a blue shirt. I believe I was wearing black... Yea... weird.

[WHOngos144]

Yeah. I just told the guy I didn't work there and both of us laughed it off. (;

[chocolateaficion...]

Hah, yeah.
I specifically remember ordering something from Cinnabon and the guy asked if I worked in the mall. Does that count?
Someone thought I was a Target worker, hah.

[lilnatcat]

I was looking through a pile of photo albums to choose to buy and a guy asked me where something was. I just said "Sorry, I don't work here."

Another time was at a Chinese restaurant, I was on my way to the bathroom when an elderly lady asked if she could put 2 tables together to form a bigger table. I told her I didn't work there..... and realising that i was wearing the same colours as their uniforms

[sm0kinm0nky]

I was at a manga store once and a few white folks came to me with products and asked me stuff. I just said.. "I don't work here"

[sharpandcuddly]

all the time, and it's really weird, cause i have pink hair.
-everywhere i go-
people must think "hey that girl with the pink hair, she must work here at claires/target/kroger"
c'mon, sheesh.

[Stephire]

One time I was waiting at the front of Claires and this lady cam up and asked why I didn't shake her hand we she entered. I was like "What?", then she said "Worst greeter I've ever seen". I just looked blankly until she walked away.
:/

[Levy2k6]

some of the cops at school think we are district employees..

because one time, we had ID's and we were going around fixing cables and stuff for teachers and their pc's...

so now, when the cop sees one of us at jack in the box, he's like hey, what's up... but when it's someone else, he gives them d-hall or something.. lol

[mzbbc]

^hahahah that's really funny.

just the other day i was at wet seal and this girl mistook me for someone who worked there. i got embarassed.
