Sometimes, a simple outfit is enough to blur the line between customer and employee.
One shopper was just trying to buy groceries after work when a chance encounter led to something unexpected.
Read on for the full story!
I didn’t tell her I don’t work here
Quite a few years ago, I worked at Radio Shack, and we wore dress pants with a white long-sleeve shirt.
One day, I left after my shift (about 3 p.m.) and had to do some grocery shopping before going home.
Then someone approaches him.
While walking through the aisle, a girl came up to me asking where to find a couple of things.
Since I was also a chef at the time, I knew where even the most obscure items were located.
So he got to work helping her.
She showed me her list, and we walked around together getting everything she needed, including a couple of oddball items she had no clue about.
Suddenly, she realizes her mistake.
She was about to walk away and started to study my shirt, then asked where my name badge was.
Then it immediately dawned on her that I didn’t work there.
But it all worked out in the end, though.
She was so impressed I took the time to help her that she gave me her number.
Yes, I called her—and we went out on a date, then many more after that.
This may just be an original experience!
What did Reddit have to say?
A helping hand always makes the shopping experience more enjoyable.
Some people are just more approachable than others.
RIP Radio Shack.
A past employee at Radio Shack reminisces on their days working there.
They may have both come in for groceries, but they left with something much more special.
You just never know what could happen!
