Let me preface this by saying that I try really hard not to shop in other stores while wearing my uniform, but unfortunately, it cannot be avoided sometimes....
My uniform consists of a polo shirt and those wonderful khaki pants, which seems to be the norm for most retail businesses these days.
My fun began as I was shopping at the world's largest retailer (I don't know how you guys feel about naming them). I work for a major electronics retailer, and our uniform, although a different shade of blue, could be mistaken (I suppose) for theirs.
As I was looking for my items, I was tapped on the shoulder. I turned around to see a short older lady. Being tall, I figured she was going to ask me to reach up and get something for her, which I don't mind doing. I was greeted with "Where are the laundry baskets ? " Now, had I known, I would have told her. But alas, I did not. Now, for the real fun....
Me....obviously
SC....self explanatory
MOD....Manager on Duty
Me- I'm sorry, I don't work here
SC-What do you mean, you're wearing a uniform !!
Me- Yes, but it's not for here. I work at _________
SC- You're lying to me !! You're just to lazy to go look !!
Me- Ma'am, Seriously, I don't work here !!
SC- Well, I'm telling your manager !!
Sooo...
She storms off, and I continue to shop for my stuff. The next thing I know, the old lady comes back around the corner with the manager. At this point, I'm about to burst out laughing, because I know what's about to transpire.
SC- You're employees are lazy. Look at her, she won't help me !!
MOD- Well, I suspect that's because she doesn't work for us.
Me-
SC- Oh, well. I'm sorry.
SC walks away, defeated.
Me-
MOD- I apologize for that
Me- I wonder if she'll ever find the laundry baskets
