sarcasm dripping with honey = still rude

[Food Lady]

I was in the girls' dept folding clothes when a woman asked about Christmas dresses. I wasn't sure because I don't generally work in clothes so I told her they would be at the edge if we have them and pointed. She said there weren't any and I said "I'm not sure where else they'd be if not there." I guess I should've said "We're out" & left it at that. She turned on her heel & said she'd ask someone else, saying "...so you can keep folding your clothes." It was sarcastic and overly cheerful. She asked my coworker who showed her what I was referring to in the first place.

Sarcasm is worse! I use sarcasm very easily, so I also am sensitive to it because I know the intent behind it. If that makes sense at all. That lady hit a bunch of SC hallmarks. Sarcasm, asking multiple employees the same question, and not following directions.

"...so you can keep folding your clothes."

Yeah, it's not like that's MY JOB OR ANYTHING

How dare you perform the task that you were assigned while working in a department that you are not familiar with....what are you, the employee of the month??
