Mistaking someone for an employee can actually be pretty funny and even wholesome for both parties involved.

In this case, though, a woman felt entitled to take out her frustrations on a nurse who, in her mind (for some mysterious reason), looked like an employee.

Let’s read the story and the comments.

Scrubs in Costco?

This just happened to me an hour ago…

I went to Costco after work today and was perusing all the cute Christmas decor. All of a sudden, I heard a loud “DO YOU WORK HERE??!!”

I looked around me for this loud voice and a Karen was walking toward me.

She had the haircut, the yoga pants, the impatient look on her face, the whole 9…

It’s hard to understand why she thought she worked there.

I’m a nurse. I was wearing PURPLE SCRUBS. Nothing about me looked like I worked at Costco…

I asked her if she was speaking to me. She confirmed.

I said NO.

She said “NO??!!” like I was brain-damaged.

I said “NO… I’m wearing SCRUBS?”

She tsk-tsk’d and walked away, shaking her head like I was the dummy!

What’s next? Someone in a soccer uniform?

Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this.

No apologizing.

I could see it at Target, but Walmart…

She should have replied: No, ma’am, do you?!
