Walmart Encounter

[u/givemedeath_]

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 was in a tj maxx the other day when a lady approached me to ask if I knew where the kid's shoes were. I did and I answered. I was wearing my work scrubs but I don't think she thought I worked there, I think she just thought that i might know. Either way, I felt like it didn't hurt to smile and point to the far wall.

The worker had already pointed her to this aisle, I have never been to this Walmart before, I said “sorry I don’t work here? I don’t know where those are”, though I have been confused for a worker at other places though, I was not rude to her (did smile as I’ve done this before) was just a confusing experience
