Ever since I was old enough, like 15-16, people always seem to think I work at stores. At least once a month, I'll be in Walmart or somewhere, and people will be like "hey do you know where ____ is?" thinking I work there, or sometimes they'll ask first if I do "Hey, do you work here? You know where I can find ______" Like it used to just happen in like, automotive or electronics sections where I'm somewhat specialized, but lately I was looking at like...peanuts, and a guy asked me where lamp fuel was. Of course I knew where it was and helped him, but was like "yeah I don't work here..." I mean, I try to be as helpful as possible and explain things to people as much as I can/need to, so maybe that's part of it, but yeah. Everywhere I go, it seems, people think I work there when I don't. I don't even get it. All the times at Walmart I was wearing red name brand tshirts, and everyone at Walmart wears blue. Ice skating rink, too, slightly understandable there, as most of the time they let me play whatever music I want, so I'm in control of the music, and again, I'll help people and explain things at length, etc.
Like seriously, I get people assuming I work at places or asking if I work at places like at least a month. It's quite ironic, as I'm unemployed, too, and most employers find me too weird or odd or whatever to hire me, but then randomass people while I'm shopping will think I work at the place. My sister said it's because I talk like I know what I'm talking about and will help anyone that asks, but like, this is a bit extreme. So does this happen to anyone else?
