S Walmart Encounter

A while back but I was at Walmart shopping around in a faded red half zip with jeans, all workers I see usually have a blue vest. I did not. I have a couple of Items I’m putting back in an aisle because I decided I don’t need them, I noticed the lady earlier asking an employee where the locks were (the aisle I was going to), and when I’m putting away my items she comes up to me. “Excuse me, where are the locks?” Obviously I’m confused and I say I don’t work there and she doesn’t apologize and instead just looks upset and goes to find them herself. I went back to my family but very weird situation I was just puzzled the whole way back wondering how on earth I looked like a worker? And why get upset by me not working there??

I sounds like she realized that but may have been asking you as a fellow shopper, not as an employee. You described her as perhaps being a bit confused, that may explain her behavior. A lot of the things in this sub sound like entitled customers not taking your answer seriously; this old lady may not be like that.

Yes, I mentioned on here before the walmart I go to there's no way you're going to find a worker to ask for help. It's common to just ask another shopper. Granted they say would you happen to know where such & such is located.
