| So I was out one day at this store looking for some workout clothes and some shoes to play basketball in. While I was looking around (and being stalked by these two girls) this guy, bluetooth headset and all, asked me "do you work here?". Now, I don't know how he came to this conclusion since I was wearing my Girbaud shirt, jeans and boots, but anyways, has this ever happened to you guys? |

| When I was doing work experience in the hospital two years ago even some of the staff thought I was a member of staff .______.; |
  |
| I get the opposite. I'm mistaken as a student when I'm actually faculty. I'm not really that young looking and am dressed more nicely than the students, so I'm not sure why. I don't hate it though.. it amuses me. |
| I typically go to Barnes n' Noble to read the magazines. I collect a few interesting readings and sit on a comfy couch to do so. Normally, I just leave them at a table or something for a worker to clean up. One day, I decided to be nice - and put them away myself... and someone asked: "Excuse me, do you work here?" I said, "no". |
| Click on this. I dare you. | MAL Fantasy Football League | Currently Watching List RWBY Club. RWBY is anime. Deal with it. |
| hmmm, I'm a teacher and I usually get mistaken for a student by other students and teachers. does this count? |
 |
| this happens to me alot to... i aways just play it off like i am one and send them to the wrong side of the store :P |
Its better to have burned out than to have never really shined... |
| When I am on clinics looking at what they are doing (just for experience) clients always ask me if I'm a new intern. Besides that, nothing. I look too dislocated wherever I am to be mistaken. |

| I've only been mistaken for a gay, for a girl and for a junkie...and while I could somewhat understand the junkie part, the first two are totally weird in my opinion. No, wait. When I was working as a teacher in high school (I was 21 then), I've been mistaken for a student once. Been wearing a leather jacket then, and it was a school where student were wearing uniforms...so one of the teachers tried to lecture me. XD Then she learned I'm a teacher as well and she lectured me even more harshly. >.> |
| For some reason, even if I don't have the right colors or any other clear indicator, people still think that you're an employee if you're using one of the computers used for checking product availability at Best Buy. Also, I just happen to have a lot of red shirts and khaki pants and shorts, and I like going to Target. So yeah... |
| Got mistaken as a waitress once in a China Buffet. I was so furious. (Not that they didn't have a point.) |
     |
| I got mistaken as an employee at Target once because I was helping a women find video games for her kids. I found her the games and she asked me to open the glass case so she could buy them, not knowing I was just a helpful shopper like herself. |
 |
| I just finished my shift at my workplace, went to Fredmeyers wearing a white shirt with a tie and black pants and a customer ended up asking me a bunch of questions without letting me speak until they finished. I was like "Uh... um... I don't work here". She was like "Oh... walks away." I lol'd at her, in the inside. |
| A couple of times,i remembered once in the big bookstore someone asked me if they sell this book,was pretty stupid imo since everyone working there actually wear a uniform and i don't even look like i'm working there. |
 |
| Hasn't happened to me so far. |
| i usually get asked if im someones little sister/child. and if im lost and need help ;; |
| Yes but I was dressed up in my work clothes because I had just got done working and went clothes shopping at other clothing stores so they probably thought I worked there...I actually helped them too lol. |

| I work at a porn studio and walk around naked, people think I'm a porn star all the time. |

| Several years ago, when I was still in middle school, I was going through some books at Barnes & Nobles when a woman asked me if I worked there. I can understand her coming to the conclusion because I was putting a lot of books back on the shelf, but did I really look that old to her? |
 |
| Yeah, it's happened to me several times. Somehow, searching through a pile of clothes for my size makes me look like an employee at the store. |

Mistyunion said: Got mistaken as a waitress once in a China Buffet. I was so furious. (Not that they didn't have a point.) Why would you get furious? That's ridiculous. It happened to me in many kind of stores. But most times is probably at the supermarket. Probably has something to do with the fact that is a place you visit very often. |

| Yeah several times. when i'm not wearing a coat. People always ask me shit about the store i'm in:p But i'm a nice guy so sometimes i help em out. |
| Yes, at Radio Shack, a dolt asked me where a product was located. How does a scholar like myself get mistaken for a Radio Shack employee? Needless to say I was quite insulted. |
| Remember someone, but it's just once. I always mistake some people as employees >_> |
