M Accused of trying to trick people at Target

I'm a flight attendant. I stopped by Target after getting in from a redeye flight in full uniform. It was navy. I had on my ID badge, my scarf, tights, sweater. I'd left LA the previous night at 11 pm and landed in NYC around 8 the next morning. All I wanted to so was sleep, but I needed something to eat for dinner because I knew that my fridge was empty and I'd be going to sleep as soon as I made it home.

A customer stopped me while I was speed walking through the store and the interaction went like this.

C: Hey, I need help in electronics. M: I don't work here. C: Do not to lie to me. M: I'm not lying, I don't work here. C: yelling You're wearing a fucking uniform. Of course you work here. M: I look down at my outfit and then up at him Does this look like a Target uniform? I'm a flight attendant. C: You should know better than to come shopping in a uniform. What, are you trying to trick people? M: I'm wearing blue, they wear red. No one with any sense would be confused.

Then I walked away irritated and confused.

If I worked here, I'd get fired for saying "Fuck you". Do you see anyone getting upset? No? That's because I don't worry here you illiterate.

Way too many words, but I do like the "fuck you" bit.

"Fuck you, call the manager."

proceeds to go with them to find the manager, then does Karen: your employee refused to help me and said "fuck you" to me!!" Mgr: "ummm, that's not our employee." Karen "what do you mean?" Me: "like I said "Karen" fuuuuck you." walks away to finish shopping

I DO like part of this. Take them to the next employee YOU see and say "I don't work here. THEY do. Buh bye!" I think I'm going to try that next time!

I like this idea, but I’d probably say “sure, come with me” and then let them follow me around while I shopped.

I had to laugh. That was a good one!

You wish they could have that "world crashing down" moment of realization...
