If you ask me, all of these cases of mistaken identity in stores might be the product of people not looking up from their phones long enough to see who they’re actually talking to…

Or maybe people are just dumb, who knows…

Either way, this is a funny story from Reddit’s “I Don’t Work Here” page.

Enjoy!

I don’t work here, I’m literally holding a shopping basket!

“I was at the store grabbing a few things when a woman rushed up, waving her receipt and demanding I fix her “wrong price.”

Oh, boy…

I told her politely, “Sorry, I don’t work here.”

She got annoyed and insisted I call a manager.

Go ask them!

I just pointed her toward the actual staff in uniforms and walked off with my groceries.”

Here’s what folks had to say on Reddit.
