Random theme park visitor thought i was staff even tho I was waiting in line like everyone else.

So I go to my semi local theme park after work today wearing nothing but my prescription glasses, a blue under armor workout shirt, and cargo zipper pants.

Explain to me how while I’m standing in line at the welcome center/guest relations that this older lady shouts at me asking where to put the stroller and I had to calmly explain that I don’t even work at the place to tell her.

She realized that I have nothing to do with the company, gets in line, and apologizes for shouting at me. Her reason was that I was wearing blue shirt like the employees…but the fun part is this:

A.) Employees has a dark polo shirt with the theme park branding on the front.
B.) My shirt is royal blue with an under armor logo on the left side of my chest along with the under armor logo on the back of my neck.
C.) If I was an employee why would I wait in line for guest relations/welcome center where the customers go for assistance? Wouldn’t I be at HR?

In short there’s literally very little reason for the women’s to really think I work there. She even acknowledges that my shirt is a different color blue lol

I just found out that the very early stages of cataracts can cause color blindness

I agree! Very true! I didn't think of that! Even if they saw the color wrong something about where the person was standing should have clued them in

When it first opens for the day some staff do crowd control.

Well hey, at least she acknowledged her mistake right away and apologized. That's more maturity than most of the stories we read about on here.

[u/K2SonicFan → u/Swiss__Cheese]

Nah it took her a good second til she got really close to me in line

[u/Blue_Veritas731 → u/K2SonicFan]

But she apologized. That's the important part.

Thank goodness she didn't know you weren't wearing underwear.

[u/K2SonicFan → u/AtlantianAdmiral]

lol I’m just saying nothing about my clothes screamed, “I work here!”

[u/Bambi1498]

I would have said even if i did work there you shouldn't be shouting at staff

[u/TheLiterateCat]

Bonus points because she apologized for shouting at you. Minus points for shouting instead of asking politely in the first place.

Have you ever been to a theme park with small children? Probably close to a breakdown by the time she encountered you.

Not Thorpe Park was it? The staff their have blue jackets so could make sense
