Meanwhile, any long-haired guy in a guitar store:
It’s more like “I’d like to initiate a conversation with with you” and not really about the literal meaning.
plus them asking gives a chance to say you’re on break or something vs them directly asking and then awkwardly needing to say “yes I could help you but I don’t want to right now ask someone else”
My autoreply whenever anyone asks “Do you work here” is: “No, I’m just employed”
This is fantastic and if I heard you say that in person you’d ironically be my go-to
I’m so terminally awkward about all this. Cuz I want to be sure that the person I’m about to ask for help isn’t like on break or waiting for their shift to start or something and “Excuse me, are you on the clock?” Sounds super condescending to me. So I just awkwardly default to “Do you work here?” or “Do you know someone who can help me?” because English is basically impossible for my dumbass self.
I feel like this is fair to just ask if they know someone who can help. It gives the person an out in case they are on break or don’t work there. I know I’ve been asked for help in places where I’m just another customer.

I get the total opposite. I’m a security contractor. People will look at me 30 feet up on a scissor lift pulling cable and ask where to find the diapers. They see ladders and tools = must be store employee.
Hey he’s just a fan of the company
For real you never know what’s the next meme stock is gonna be. Those people get weird.
that’s passive aggressive for “are you going to do any work here or just fuck around?”
I own a KFC sweat shirt but I’ve never worked there. I’m gonna start collecting company shirts and waiting for people to ask me for help
meme made by someone without eye problems I imagine.
I cannot see that logo unless I get into an awkward distance, so I’m asking.
Lol, if you see a person wearing a tucked in blue polo shirt with dress pants with a yellow splotch on his shirt, you can probably make a safe assumption that they work for best buy :)
The pants type are now optional (in Canada anyway) so just the polo nowadays
Customer service is also optional according to every Best Buy I’ve gone to lately.
I’m glad I’ve got a Microcenter nearby, but they’re basically impossible to call the store itself even if you’ve got a good reason to actually talk to them.
Same goes for bestbuy. It’s because everyone and their mother calls the place constantly for free tech support, so I sort of understand it
Better than people starting to ask me where stuff is when I’m just another random customer in the store.
Well, there was a whole community on the other place about not working in a place and being asked where stuff was and for help regarding products and an endless stream of angry Karen’s who wouldn’t take “I don’t work here lady” as an acceptable answer.
Sir, this is an arby’s
Use your words, Mr. Best Buy.
