People assume a lot about someone based on their appearance, but it can lead to some awkward encounters when they get it wrong.

While out for a quick date-day errand, one well-dressed shopper ended up fielding an influx of questions meant for store staff.

I couldn’t even walk through Michael’s..

When I leave the house, I usually tend to overdress, and since this was a date day for my partner and me, we were looking pretty spiffy.

Today we went to Michael’s for some craft supplies and other goodies.

But soon she started drawing a lot of attention to herself.

The total trip was only around 15–20 minutes, and I was stopped by not one, not two, but THREE different groups of people asking where to find their craft supplies!

Thankfully, they were very polite when I informed them that I was, in fact, a customer, not an employee.

And her partner thinks they know why.

After the second time, my partner pointed out to me that it was probably due to the fact that I picked a red button-up for today’s outing.

On our way to the kiosks to check out, another customer even said thanks before leaving.

Turns out, she really dressed the part for this craft store outing.

What did Reddit think?

It could have been that there just weren’t enough actual employees there to help customers.

Sometimes it helps to steer away from certain colors.

Apparently this user has a similar problem.

She may have known her way around, but she didn’t work there.
