Are You Being Serviced?

Today I went to Target to buy a new Dr. Grip since an attorney stole mine and I need to write a ton this weekend. I was walking around Target checking out the wares and this older woman stopped me. This is how it went down:

Old Woman #1: Excuse me, sir.

Old Woman #2: He doesn't work here!

OW1: But he's a man who might know about these things.

Me: Maybe, how can I help you?

OW1: Do you know if this swivels or not? [Hands me a showerhead]

Me [Looking at the showerhead]: I don't know. It looks like it does but I don't know for sure.

OW2: Well we want one that swivels because some don't and then it doesn't move up for the tall people.

Me: Yeah.

OW1: Thanks for your help!

Me: Good luck.



Why do I always get stopped in stores? Do I look friendly? Do I look knowledgable? At least this time they knew I wasn't an employee.
