I hate the opposite of do you work here, when I am incognito on my meal, in a normal hoodie and black PMT pants and guests still ask me do I work there

Today, while on my lunch, I was heading to the check lanes from grocery when a guest asked me if I worked here. I said yes, but I’m on my lunch right now (note I’m holding my food and not wearing my name tag). She then asked me where the Hearth and Hand section was (we were right next to it). I told her it’s right here.
She said oh, well I need help finding these items because I don’t see them over here (expecting me to help her). I said, “Well, sorry, but I really can’t help you. I’m on my lunch” and quickly walked away. Took a couple extra minutes on my lunch because of it.

“Sorry, I’m just maintenance.”

While I agree with so much of this:

When guests ask me where stuff is I remind myself that if they didn't need a gentle guiding hand I may not have a job.

I need a job to feed my cats.

I can go into any store with my obvious non-Target lanyard, non-Red striped shirt, and jeans/khaki, and I still have people coming up to me asking where stuff is. People think if you are wearing a lanyard, you must work there.

That has happened to me at Aldi, Walmart, and Wegmans. None of their uniforms except maybe Wegmans require red, and even then it's usually a polo of whatever color the wearer chooses.

I have one better, do you have this in stock?

Is this for real?

Next time I go into a Target I don't work at I am going to do this..

Then at the end ask them to call the LOD, then recognize them, while they are present, in perfect Target Lingo. Then walk out, to leave them scratching their heads over who that just was... and leaving prolly their entire ETL base into a panic over spontaneous incognito "Visits....".

Infact, I think this would be an awesome "TheBreakRoom" prank on April Fools Day.

Where we can all collectively Troll Target, anonymously.

Hahaha I was stocking bakery today and as i was stocking the lady asked me the exact same question. I double checked to make sure i had my name bade on ( i take it off when im on break) and YEP I had my badge on.

She was wondering where the butter was, it was right across from her, then her daughter looked at her weird after she said if i worked there. LOL She said why did you ask that employee if she worked here? of course she does.

TRUE STORY HAPPENED THIS AFTERNOON.

• 3/4 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons quality vanilla extract
• Zest of one large lemon

3. Add the milk, lemon zest, vanilla extract and currants and stir until combined. Scoop the batter into the prepared pudding mold and secure it tightly with the lid.
4. Lower the pudding mold into the boiling water so that the water comes up to the halfway point of the pudding mold. Reduce the heat to a simmer and simmer undisturbed for 90 minutes.

I came into the store once in normal clothing. Maybe it was because my shirt was burnt orange idk but..
Guest: Excuse me do you work here?
I gave my best WTF look to my peer and turned and said “no sorry.”
Or maybe I just have that nice guest service face. When I go into other stores people ask me if I work there too. Costco, Kohl’s, Old Navy. *insert Maybelline Slogan*

Not ugly, just making reference to societal suggestive standards of beauty that if a woman uses Maybelline, a makeup brand, then who knows if she’s “born with it” or if it’s the makeup.

 

[NKG]

Constantly asked if we carry items that CVS carries. Bro this is Target except the prescriptions.
