Targeting The Wrong Worker
(While I typically don’t, my sisters and mother-in-law like to go do the Black Friday sales after Thanksgiving every year and they’ve invited me to join them. Since I enjoy bonding with them, I decide to go. I am wearing a red t-shirt. We’re currently in a [Popular Retail Chain], where the employees wear blue, and I’m looking at some sport-themed blankets when another customer comes to stand by me.)
Customer: “Hmmm…”
Me: *still looking*
Customer: *loudly clears throat*
Me: *glances at her before going back to looking*
Customer: “Excuse me, I need to find [Item].”
Me: “Oh… ma’am, I don’t work here.”
Customer: “But you’re wearing red…”
(She finally gets a good look at my shirt, which has a ninja on the front.)
Customer: “I’m not in Target anymore, am I?”
Me: “No… No, you’re not.”
