I was the lady

Yes, it was me… it happened a few years ago at a specialty store where you could get specific flours for making pizza as well as other niche baking items.

This is where it gets funny…

I was having some trouble locating the 000 flour that I was looking for. There was a man close to me, I believe dressed in khakis and a polo shirt.

Since this was a small independent store, so there was no uniform that I could ascertain.

You would have not expected that!

He looked like he was stocking the shelves so I did it. I asked him “where do you keep the 000 flour?”.

He turned to me and said “do I look like I work here?”, a bit brusquely… I paused, looked him up and down to see what I missed, what I got wrong… but all I could squeak out was “Yesss”… almost as a question…

UH OH…

He glared. I apologized and ran away… he was big mad.

I honestly can’t remember if I ever found the flour or not. I’m still embarrassed…

YIKES! That sounds embarrassing!

Why didn’t she ask him if he works there?
