Wearing any kind of store uniform, regardless of the logo, is pretty much asking for trouble while shopping retail.

One shopper learned this the hard way when a fellow shopper demanded his help, despite the fact his uniform didn’t at all resemble the one she was looking for.

You’ll want to read on for this one!

Walmart

This was a little bit ago, but I worked at Pizza Inn.

We had the bright red shirts with Mr. Pizza Inn on them and PIZZA INN in giant yellow letters on the back.

But this wasn’t enough to deter one fellow shopper.

I went to Walmart after work to buy myself a new game. This lady comes up to me and starts complaining about a purchase and demanding my manager.

I told her that I didn’t work there and tried to move on.

If you think that explanation was enough to get her to stop, then you’d be dreaming.

“But you’re wearing a work shirt for Pizza Inn,” she insisted. “It’s still a work shirt, you’re an employee, you’re supposed to help me.”

“I can’t help you with this, I don’t work here,” I explained.

She then demanded my manager again, so I just started to walk away.

She demands him to stay, but he realizes she has absolutely zero authority over him.

She grabbed my arm and yelled at me that she was gonna call my manager.

I just laughed and walked away.

The next day, my manager jokingly asked why I didn’t help that lady at Walmart.

This story followed him all the way back to Pizza Inn!

What did Reddit think?

Don’t we all technically work somewhere?

Does this clueless lady even know what a genuine Walmart uniform looks like?

Just how far will this lady go to demand help from the wrong person?

Somehow even his actual manager caught wind of this lady’s crazy antics.

She thought she was talking to a Walmart employee, but really she was just talking to some dude who couldn’t care less.
