Apparently two women confused me for a Walmart employee while I was getting some windshield wipers, even though I was wearing a black leather jacket and nothing remotely resembling a employee tag.

Wut?

This happens to me all the time. I dont get it people are constantly asking me directions for stuff and if I work there. Yesterday a couple way down the isle pointed to me and said something. I notice things. I went about my business but looked up every now and again to figure out what was happening. They kept talking an looking at me.

I attribute it to bitch face. I think I have this. maybe people think cuz I look serious all the time I must be at work or something.

I am becoming very self concious.

You must get rid of that "dazed and confused" look when at Walmart. :)

I'd understand if that had happened at a Home Depot, but a Walmart?

I've been told by some friends of mine about the serious face thing as well... Lol

Even Home Depot were bright orange vests so I'd be surprised if people started asking lol.

Lol

Still, if some lady can't distinguish a blue vest from a black leather jacket then she's got problems haha.

One of the two ladies actually got me in the Hot Wheels section... They must figure that an adult man with his hands full of Hot Wheels must be an employee stocking them up because why else would he have so many in his hands? Hahaha

I work at a retirement home. Uniform is a long sleeve blue shirt, black tie with white dots, black pants, and a yellow nametag (with the place I work listed on it).

After work one night I go into Publix (a supermarket) . Their color is green. With black nametags. I get asked BY NAME (meaning they looked at the nametag) where the beer is. I helped, but they thought I worked there! Even better? Im 15! Only the managers wear shirts that I was wearing... how could I be such a young manager!?

Maybe we solved it? I need to ponder a solution...maybe botox in the face.

They shop at Walmart. 'nuff said.

That's what I figure. Why else would a 22 year old have his hands full of Hot Wheels. Only once have I ran into another collector.

The clerk at my local collectible shop is the only person who has never looked at me strangely for buying so many Hot Wheels.

I do work at Macy's, but...

one day I was in the home department buying shit, not working. I'm wearing a denim jacket with jeans tucked into my ratty boots, and some old lady approaches me, asking if we have this and that and which is better. That's not the only time either.

I try to dress as casual as possible when I go into Macy's, but people somehow figure out I work there. Now when I go, I go with headphones and avoid eye contact.

Whereas at my work, customers always ask me if I work there…..while I'm wearing a sweater and a shirt with the store name and colours -.-

People are weird

Comfort level/body language. I used to work in a high end department store. These days if I go into one wearing a suit there's a 50/50 chance of being mistaken for an employee despite not being the only man in a suit. When you're comfortable where you are, people assume you belong there.
Unfortunately in your case this implies that your natural element is Walmart.

Strange considering I barely go there, but it makes sense. Lol

Got the same treatment at Staples once, and by an employee at an Apple Store.

They wanted the D. Think of it this way, they see this cute/hot lad and want to have a convo with them. Most women wont do nothing but some bold ones will do something. Acting "blond" and asking for help is good recipe that works IF the guy actually helps. They then introduce themselves and if everything clicks, bam you got a number. (Crazy theory of mine)
