I was cured, all right!
Does anyone else ever have this happen?

You're in a store buying some nuts, and some random rear end in a top hat comes up to you and asks where the baby food is.

This happens to me all the god drat time in every permutation you can think of. I'll be in the toy store looking for something on my kids wishlist, and someone will ask where the poo poo on their kids wishlist is.

Or I'll be in a office supply store, looking at some paper and someone asks me where the packing tape is.

Or I'll be in a technology store and someone wants to know where whatever poo poo they are selling in the flyer is.

Or in the goddamn airport. Someone will ask me how to get to the check-in counter or public transit.

All the loving time. And I am royally hosed if I happened to wear the same colour shirt as the employees in the store. I just have to leave and come back later.

I used to laugh and say something like; "I think it's in the aisle with X".

And it's always worse around the holidays. I almost can't go out in public without getting stopped in a store. Do most people stumble around like someone gave them a lobotomy? Or do I just look like I know what I am doing most of the time?

In recent years I have perfected my "Were you saying words" look, and tell them I don't work there.

But today some lady looked at me like I was lying to her, and followed up with "Oh you don't work here?". Yeah... I kinda literally just said those words.

This happens to me frequently in Target because I used to go in there to buy lunch at their deli in my work uniform.

Which was a red button up and had the name of my shop on a big patch right on the front and on the sleeve. Yet, "Hi, do you work here?" all the time.
