People ask me where things are in the store all of the time. It even happens when I'm wearing my winter coat. Maybe I look like I won't flip out on them. Happens to me, too. I think we must just have that I-look-like-I-know-what-I'm-doing face, lol. No I never buy snacks. I'm not good at eating just one serving so I figure why buy something unhealthy anyway. The reference could have been because you have a lot of kids and thus you must keep snacks at home. But she didn't have her kids w/her. Weird & presumptive. Go figure people! |

A woman in my apartment building once told me that she thought I'd be fun to go gambling with. What does that mean? I didn't know her and I've never gambled. Maybe you have a "poker" face?  |

I had a lady at Costco yesterday ask me out of the blue how many people her ham would feed. I'm glad she didn't say I looked like someone who ate a lot of ham. LOL

Stuff like that happens to me all of the time and I've never once been concerned that the person asking thought I was overweight. I AM, but, hey, I just like to think that I look like a nice, approachable person!

I get strangers ask me for directions and help all the time and think it has a lot to do with making eye contact and a long history of customer service jobs. In your case, I think the chips in your cart were the reason she asked you but do have to laugh at the opening line Ashley, can we now call you the Snack Queen? LOL I get asked for help as well. I usually smile at someone in the same aisle as I am. Because I'm from Minnesota and we do that. But I've had people argue with me at Target. "But I see you here all the time."  Time to spend a little LESS time at Target! I will admit that I do try to help people at the commissary. It's been under renovation for the past 2+ years and they move stuff weekly, I swear. And it never makes any sense. It's like a big game of hide and seek in there and we all stand there looking lost. But I'm not the only one offering help. It's like I have 5 new BFFs when I leave the place. Ok, but if you're going to call me Snack Queen, I think I need a pretzel crown.  With M&M "jewels". That is kind of funny that people argue with you about being at Target!!  |

At least that's better than the random 30 year old guy at WM who asked me if I'm pregnant. We (DD and I) were looking at toys in the girls' toy aisle. He had no kid with him. No Hi, how are you, but just flat out, "Excuse me, are you pregnant?" When I told him, um, NO, he started to apologize and hem and haw, "I'm so embarrassed" and I told him to just stop talking because he wasn't going to talk his way out of that. Some people. And FTR, I don't look pregnant when I'm standing up.  |

I worked at Target when I was in college (20 years ago) to this day, doesn't matter what I'm wearing (I NEVER wear red/khaki together!) I'm asked where things are in the store. Not much has changed in the 20 years I have worked there, so I can usually direct them where to go.
I need to ask these people why I LOOK like I work at Target? It's weird. I mean I'm pushing a cart with my purse in the carrier, since when do employees do that?

What was the snack? I'm curious. I've had strangers say I seemed unhappy when really it's just my bitchy resting face. This made me LOL I bet I have a bitchy resting face, too |

I've been the lady that buys the snack! For an entire preschool 200 plus kids. Let me say when you go in to Walmart and clear out the banana section people do look at you funny - or pissed off if they wanted bananas that day. I'm sure you didn't do that.

I like snacks, but not 200 toddlers worth of like. |

I had a man come up to me in the supermarket recently, shouting "You're just the person I've been looking for!" I looked behind me and saw that I was the only other person in the aisle, so he had to be talking to me. "I need to ask you about toilet paper," he said. At this point, I was looking around for the hidden camera, because I figured this was some new incarnation of Candid Camera being filmed. But no. He asked me a dozen questions about quilted toilet paper and triple ply toilet paper and the definition of a double roll. It was bizarre. Then he thanked me and went on his way. I guess I looked like a TP expert?  |

One day when I was shopping several years ago, it was close to Thanksgiving and there was an elderly gentleman, I'd guess in his 80's, staring at the canned pumpkin. He asked me if he could ask me a question. I said sure. He said that his wife sent him to the store for canned pumpkin, and he didn't know if he should just get pumpkin or pumpkin pie filling.
I told him it depended on what she was making. He didn't know and seemed slightly anxious about the whole thing, so I whipped out my cell phone and told him to call his wife and I dialed the number for him. He spent the next 5 minutes explaining to his wife how he was calling her from the store and what a marvel cell phones were. Lol.
I actually still think about him every Thanksgiving when I'm at the store and how cute and appreciative he was.

I would have said "they ran out of apples!" but I would say something funny sarcastic because she said something stupid. It would be hard not to give her the WTF look?!
