It may be time to start wearing more Tees.

Dear shoppers,

Just because I’m walking around a store wearing a polo shirt does not mean I work there. Please do not ask me where you can find the toilet paper aisle just because my one-color shirt has short sleeves and a collar. No, I cannot do a price check for you. No, I cannot see if there are any more of that item in the stock room. Does it look like I have a name tag that says “How may I help you?” pinned to my chest? I’m simply wearing a polo shirt like regular people who do not work in retail do from time to time. It isn’t even the same color as what the employees’ are wearing. I’m in blue. They’re in red. Now please let me buy some shampoo in peace.
