Although Most Fourteen Year Olds Are More Technically Adept Than Adults

(I’m putting groceries into my cart at the check-out line. I am wearing a red t-shirt. The employees at the store also wear red shirts. A female worker walks up to me.)

Worker: *making gestures to follow her* “Come here. You’re needed.”

Me: *I look at the worker confused*

Worker: “Aren’t you the new tech guy?”

Me: “Uh…”

Worker: “Don’t you work here?”

Me: “Um, no.”

Worker: “Are you sure you don’t work here?”

Me: “I’m 14. I’m sure I don’t work here.”
