Uniforms may help identify employees, but in a busy grocery store, they can also confuse customers.

One pharmacy employee, armed a sense of humor and a love for Star Wars, found the perfect moment to turn a typical “I don’t work here” moment on its head.

Read on for the full story!

I’m not the employee you’re looking for.

I work in the pharmacy of a grocery store.

The pharmacy uniform is a short-sleeve button-down overshirt. The rest of the employees have vests that are a different color.

He’s used to getting flagged down by customers.

Customers frequently stop me with questions whenever I go out into the store. I usually point them in the right direction and say I need to go back to the pharmacy.

But when it happened on his break, he found a way to have a little fun with it.

So yesterday, I’m on a 15-minute break buying an energy drink at self-checkout. The person at the next machine is wearing a Star Wars T-shirt.

I’m about to walk away after completing my transaction when they say, “Excuse me.” I see an alert on their machine.

So he lets out a clever punchline.

I say, “I’m not the employee you’re looking for,” and gesture to where it says “Pharmacy” on my shirt. Then continue, “I’ll let her know you need help.”

I spot the employee already heading over and go on with my break.

I didn’t stick around to see if they caught the Star Wars reference, but it made me happy and feel very clever.

He couldn’t resist the opportunity to make a nod to the Force.
