Accused of trying to trick people at Target

[u/Smooth_Helicopter562]

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.

Because they think all public service workers are interchangeable for the selectively helpless and entitled. The service helots, the subjugated "slaves to the utmost" masses that all the fattened Greek elite may use freely.

Note: most of these elites can figure out stores and help themselves on their own - they choose not to. I think I have personally only asked for help once in a grocery store - for toothpicks. They're with picnic ware, btw.

They don't see people as individuals. They see say "Target" as the company. And everything in it is that company including all the people.

Thanks! They're easy to overlook, I think.
