I went to ACE Hardware to get a hair strainer for my bath tub. The employees there wear a red vest that says ACE Hardware and jeans. I am wearing khaki shorts, orange shirt and black photo vest. Someone came up and asked "can you help me find something?" I said "I don't work here." For some reason, the dude didn't know that I wasn't wearing a red ACE Hardware vest. I've had similar occurrences at other stores. If I walked into Target wearing khaki pants and a red polo, I'd understand. But I don't dress like the employees and for some reason, people still think I work there. I really don't get it.

when I worked for Coca-Cola way back when, people would ask me for all kinds of help! it sucked when I was wearing my red shirt at Target! now I work for a local beer distributor and I still get asked stupid shit no matter what! they start rambling on about some kind of food product without even asking me first if I work at the store lol

Back in late winter 2013, I was working a second job at a McDonald's. We ran out of something so they sent me to the store a block away. As I was walking through the store, someone asked if I could tell them where an item was. I said "I don't work here" and the person replied "you fucking liar." I unzipped my jacket and showed them my McD's shirt and said "I don't work here!" The asshole gave me the stink-eye and walked away. As I was in line to check out, I realized the person's confusion. The employees wear blue shirts and black pants. My McD's uniform was a blue shirt and black pants.
