Mistaken for micheals employee while waiting for my fabric to be cut

A few weeks ago, I was waiting at the fabric counter at Michaels.

I was trying to get a bolt of fabric cut to size, so I could use it to line a bag I was making.

I had just gotten off a training for my internship in children’s therapy.

I was wearing a green vest I had crocheted, a green long-sleeve shirt, and jeans.

This woman was mistaken for an employee by a customer.

This lady came up to me, asking if she could ask a question.

Confused, I said, “Sure?”

I thought she was asking me about fabric or crocheting.

She then asked about a different craft.

I told her I didn’t work there.
