Going to a store and having another customer accidentally mistake you for an employee is always a weird experience, and it almost always makes for a good story. Redditor u/geoliciouswerdsmith took to r/IDontWorkHereLady to tell their story of being asked for help at a grocery store in Florida, and it just sounds funny. OP, his son, and his young grandson were making their way through the story when a flip-flop-clad Karen ran up to them demanding to know where a hyper-specific brand of dog food was.

We're not sure why this person would have thought this group included any store employees — as OP writes, he was wearing a band tee-shirt, and his son wearing a Donkey Kong shirt. Not exactly the green uniforms the store's actual employees wear. All in all, it honestly sounds like a pretty humorous situation. If you want to keep the Karen drama going check out this story about a Karen mistakenly bullying a fellow customer, and then getting mocked.

This pet food aisle is set up as dog food/supplies on one end, a cooler with fresh pet food, bird food/ hamster food, etc then cat food/supplies on the opposite end. While leaving the

    Font - We both turn around and right away she starts in about chasing us down blah, blah, blah, BUT you could tell she was confused as we are not dressed anywhere close to what employees wear as they wear green uniforms. She kept staring at our shirts. Me with a Steppenwolf t-shirt complete with a large wolf head and my son with a Donkey Kong t-shirt. Not ready to admit defeat yet she tried to say something else and. .

    Font - At this moment my grandson sticks his arms straight out and starts waving his hands around saying "NO0000!!!!" Yup! We both lost it and started laughing so hard we were in tears. Just said "Don't work here!!" turned around and continued to the registers without incident. She stood there, mouth gaping. She ran down to the other end of the pet aisle, passed 3 other aisles then ran down the entire length of the dairy aisle in her flip flops to chase down 2 men and a baby to ask about some ra
