I happen to work at Wal-Mart and this actually happened to me in the days when all Wal-Mart employees wore those vests with the Wal-Mart logo and a name badge. I am working Sunday morning, usually a quiet time until church services are over. About an hour into my shift a lady pushes a cart up to me and asks "Excuse me. Do you work here? Are you a K-Mart employee?" I look at her, so startled by the question I can't answer. Thinking I a little slow, she rephrases her question. Do you work here at K-Mart?" My brain finally kicks in and I say "Ah.., No mam' This is Wal-Mart, can I help you?" It's her turn to look startled, "Oh! No, never mind," and off she goes.
