Well, it's a good thing I used to work there

[Imogene]

Okay, so, back before I moved, one night, a friend and I had wandered into a Target after grabbing some dinner, because walking down the strip mall to get to Target aided our digestion, and Target always had bizarre things that we didn't know we needed, if we looked hard enough.

Anyway, we wandered past the Electronics, and into the food area. We rounded a corner, right into a fairly well dressed couple. Now, all we did was give them a look as we passed by, as we didn't want to smack into them (I'm not exactly small, they'd have been on their asses)

Please note, friend and I were in grubby clothes, cause we prefer to be comfortable when we go out to eat. Both in jeans, nothing even remotely red about our shirts.

Guy suddenly pipes up.
DG: "Hey, do you know that one song that goes *insert some random lyric here*?"
M: "Why, yes, yes I do, seeing as I listen to the radio rather frequently. It is *I want to say it was 'Crazy', by Gnarls Barkley*."
DG: "Do you know where it is here?"
M: "*sigh* Why, yes, yes I do, as I was just over in the electronics, and perused the CDs."
Stupidly, we took the couple back over to the CDs, and I strolled right down along the rack, not bothering to look at them, and grabbed the Crazy CD off the rack for him.

Later, friend and I were in the Toys, looking for a Ouija board, and were having no luck, so we found an associate. Who couldn't find one either, but we couldn't just let her feel terrible about not being able to help us, so, I told her the story of the moronic couple who couldn't tell the difference between khakis and jeans.

It sounds to me like they were just asking for help from you. Didn't sound like they thought you worked there.

I was getting gas at Wal-Mart a few days ago and an old woman asked me for help. She just wanted help; she didn't think I worked there.

It was nice of you to help the couple, though!

That's pretty good though, you're able to name that song and find the CD for them . . . did ya win anything??!!!

Heh, was in a Michael's last week, frantically looking for last minute items for the Christmas fair. (I had a booth, and had forgotten price tags for my stuff). A lady passed by me, also looking for something frantically. I chuckled and said, "Are you in the Christmas fair, too?" She looked so surprised, then laughed. "You look about as frazzled as I feel, I can't find the little ziploc baggies."

"Oh, I know where those are" and I showed her.

"Now what are you looking for, dear?"

"Tie on price tags"

"Oh! Those are right over here!"

We had a good laugh about it, the employees looked busy enough restocking, and the store was packed.

I can name that song in four garbled lines of lyric?
Name that song!

Uh... win anything? Not really, but the friend and I got to unload some of our stupid customer stories on the associate we talked to, who at one point, was called to on the walkie, and called back to say she was helping a 'guest'.
