It's an honour

LadyButterfly she/herMe smelling the different camemberts in the aisle to find the stinkiest most ripe one to buy.
I've had someone point out a shoplifter because they thought I looked like an off-duty cop
I was very offended
Time for a make over, yay!
Thank you, I'll take care of this.
Immediately tell our new friend to be more discreet.
Damn... That would ruin my whole week.
That's bad on two levels, first how dare they insult you like that but also, no, they did not see anyone shoplifting (unless this was in a mom & pop shop)
Looks up from the cheese fort they built in the aisle
O Senpai of the Kraftwerk, what is your wisdom?
Wir fahr'n, fahr'n, fahr'n auf der Autobahn
Wir fahr'n, fahr'n, fahr'n auf der Autobahn
Jetzt schalten wir das Radio an
Aus dem Lautsprecher klingt es dann
Wir fahr'n, fahr'n, fahr'n auf der Autobahn
I assume I just have "the look". Because it's a semi-frequent situation for me to be standing in a store shopping and minding my own business, only to have someone assume I'm an employee and ask me a question like "Where do ya'll keep the bathroom cleaner?" or "Can you check and see if they have any more Banana Creme Oikos Triple Zero in the back?"
Then came the rise of those in-store shoppers and personal shopper services, and now even having a cart full of my own groceries doesn't guarantee I won't be mistaken as being an employee and asked for assistance.
I mostly don't mind, though and I do go out of my way to help short people reach items on the top shelf if I notice them struggling. Women and older people usually seem pretty happy about it, younger non-geriatric men seem to be less enthusiastic.
