Customer Thought A Fellow Shopper Was An Employee Because Of The Color Of Her Shirt, But He Ended Up Embarrassing Himself With His Own Hypocrisy

Not everyone who walks down the aisle in a store works there, but some customers refuse to believe otherwise.
One shopper was minding her own business in the pharmacy aisle when a man demanded her help locating an item and got petty when she didn’t deliver.
Too bad for him, irony was just around the corner.
You’ll want to read on for this one!
You shouldn’t wear a red shirt
I was trying to arrange my Costco cart with all my labels facing up in the pharmacy section, specifically the adult diapers for a family member.
But then she gets some unwanted company.
A man approaches me from behind and says, “Where’s the turmeric?”
I paused, turned, and replied, “I don’t know, I don’t work here.”
This fellow shopper begins to argue with her.
He looks at my T-shirt, points, and says, “Well then you shouldn’t wear a red T-shirt.”
Costco doesn’t have a mandated red shirt uniform.
Fine—forgot he wasn’t at Target.
He audibly grumbled off to his wife while I finished rotating my items, who then smugly asks if I need assistance (probably because he complained about me).
But then she notices something infuriating and hilarious.
That’s when I see—these boomers are wearing red shirts.
Oh, the hypocrisy!
Reddit is sure to get a kick out of this one.
Some people really just don’t pay attention.

Some people must just look knowledgeable.

Certain companies shouldn’t be allowed to own certain colors.

Maybe some people just need help and they don’t know where it comes from.

Some people just can’t stand being wrong, especially when they were so outspoken about it.
Ultimately, she managed to get the last laugh without saying a thing.
