The Zombies Are Already Among Us

(I’ve finished work. I’m wearing smart black business attire, with my company’s logo on my coat.)

Customer: “Do you work here?”

Me: “No, the staff here wear green and beige. In fact, there is a hut over there—” *twenty feet away* “—with ‘customer help’ written on it; I can see that there is someone in there. You should probably ask him.”

(The customer pauses.)

Customer: “Yeah, well, I wanted to know about these sprayers. Can I—”

Me: “No, I’m sorry; I don’t work here so I couldn’t possibly tell you.”

Customer: “Oh, okay.” 

(The customer paused again, and then walked off in the wrong direction.)
