tough life of the average angry white male - always having to deal with this kind of shitMikeDamone said:Saturday I got asked a question as if I were an employee. I said I don’t work here and went on with my life. The person said, oh, sorry and went on with her life. And yes, I would be a bad person if I went off.
Also, I’ve been cut in line on. The person didn’t see me. When I told them the line was behind me, the said oh, sorry, and went to the back of the line. Everyone moved on. -
I've been asked many times. It's like a mildly entertaining faux pas

I've had people thing I work at those places because I had a nice shirt on. They assume you are management...SFGbob said:This was the exact "racist" experience that Michelle and Barack both said they had to endure in racist AmeriKKKa.

“Oh I’m sorry, I don’t work here”
It’s easy, lady. Not everything needs to be the grievance olympics. Be polite, keep it moving, and go about your fucking day.
But then you’d miss the chance at tweeting in anger over being mistaken for but a lowly retail employee.
Sounds kinda elitist, but what do I know🤷♂️ -
Once wore a red polo to Target and was asked for help by two people. Wasn't outraged.

Had a job in my mid 20s where the unofficial uniform was a pair of pleated khakis a button down shirt and the standard striped college tie.Goduckies said:

I couldn't go into a May Company or Macy's without someone asking me for help. Pre-smart phones I was always asked for directions. Must have been my honest and approachable face. Or maybe I had a face that looked like I worked in retail and all those folks were lookin down on me. Fuckers!! -
You should've cracked that short bitch in the jaw! How dare her disrespect your JD (she had no way of knowing about - not that it matters)!WestlinnDuck said:I've been asked at least a couple of dozen times if I worked in some retail establishment. Asked more than that if I could help a short lady get something from the top shelf.

"These types?" Why so racist, Doc?SFGbob said:
And if the doc expects people to know her profession on sight, why isn't she wearing a lab coat and a name tag with "MD" on it?
Or am I supposed to presume every black woman in a store is a physician?
Kicking myself. -
Couple of years ago I flew from Boston to Raleigh to catch up with my family at a soccer tournament. Went up to my room and changed out of my suit grabbed a drink at the bar and met up with the rest of the parents. I started to settle down with the group when a couple of other guests looked at me and asked if I was their Uber driver. I stood up grabbed my drink and told them yes and to just wait right there.

1988 Million Dollar Saloon strip joint, Dallas, TX. Walking in the front door with some buddies and a big old cadillac with the horns on the front of the hood pulled up. Guy flipped me a $20 and his keys and asked me park it where it would safe. Took the $20, parked it and as I was coming back to the front door I was told by the valet that if I gave up the $20 i could go in. If not there would be no admittance. Flipped him the $20, went in and then was screamed at by the owner of the caddy. What a great night that was. We still are having a good laugh over that.georgiaduck said:Couple of years ago I flew from Boston to Raleigh to catch up with my family at a soccer tournament.
