No matter what type of garb I may be wearing that day, when in retail stores I get mistaken for an employee. The worst was one day I was checking out the closeout action figures in Kaybee, and this woman with small child in tow asks me where the new Barbies were. After telling her I didnt work there, she started swearing profusely at me, demanding to speak with my manager because she was going to make sure I was fired on the spot for insulting her. Now when asked where things are, I just tell them "Aisle 5, bottom shelf", and walk away.
Living in a small town, it seems like everybody knows me, and I always get asked if I still work at [fill in the blank], even if I haven't worked there in 10 years.
I can be 2 states away, and still run into someone I only know briefly, and they snag me and start yacking, like I remember a certain item I sold them years ago.
