“Do You Work Here?” Awkward Stories Of Being In The Wrong Place At The Wrong Time

So me and my girlfriend were hanging out in this store that had a bit of everything, when she decides to look for some covers for her phone, I stayed in a corridor nearby looking at the tech stuff when suddenly, a lady comes up to me.

I was wearing jeans and a red polo, I guess she mistook me for an employee even if they had a blue uniform.

Lady: “Hey you, can you tell me where I can get [item]?” I look around for a second before looking back at her and saying, “I don’t know, I don’t w-” She interrupted me before I could say the magic word “I don’t work here.” I couldn’t believe what came out of her mouth. She told me: “You brown people are all the same don’t know how to treat customers, disgusting!”

I’m about to go to my girlfriend and tell her the story about this crazy lady, but before I could reach her, this lady comes back.

I kid you not, she starts spraying those house deodorant sprays in my face, blinding me. Lady: “Serves you right for being lazy and [insert super inappropriate slur].” Me: “HELP!” My girlfriend heard me yelling and came.

Before I could say anything, I could hear my girlfriend calling the authorities. I guess staff didn’t let her leave, because when I could see again after washing my eyes, she was crying and getting detained.

Officers asked If I’d like to press charges. I said yes. Even if I was an employee there, that’s no way to treat people.
