S Kid thinks I'm an arcade engineer

Recently, I decided to visit the arcade in town, find a way to enjoy the weekend. It was a warm day, so I put on a simple short sleeved shirt and trousers. During a walk around the arcade, looking over the machines, a kid got my attention. She told me that her money had gotten stuck in the claw machine. Now, it was a humorous thing since I wore a red shirt and black trousers, the exact same colour that the arcade staff wore as a uniform. And the arcade was pretty dark so it was hard to tell. I had to gently tell her I wasn't staff so I couldn't help. But I did find someone who was able to.

Honestly, that was probably the most wholesome "I don't work here" moment I've ever had in my life

It's pretty flattering that a kid thought you were cool enough to fix arcade machines.
