It’s always funny (or sad, depending on how you’re looking at it) to walk into a store and realize you’re dressed like the employees. This gives you the opportunity to do some really funny things in that store, and possibly get away with it. I wouldn’t be surprised if some Targets out there do not allow people with bright red shirts to walk into their store, for fear that they would attempt to run the store and confuse some shoppers in the process.
Either way, we’ve all been confused for a random store employee by people at some point in our lives. Whether it is wardrobe-related or simply because we look like we belong there, it happens. How you react to those moments, however, is completely up to you, and some people do not settle for the classic ‘I don’t work here, lady’.
The man in the Reddit story was approached by a customer in an electronics store, and was asked for help choosing a laptop. Instead of immediately clearing up the mix-up, this guy decided to play along, and it led to quite a hilarious reaction eventually.
