A quick pop-in after work

This story isn't as involved as some of the others here. There were no freak outs, and I'm sure the antagonist felt an immediate sense of embarrassment.

I stopped in to the local supermarket after work. This is important because my work uniform involves a polo shirt with my company logo, a hat with a similar logo, a duty belt, and openly carried firearm. This is definitely NOT part of the employee livery, which involves a tie and an apron. I was wearing my bandanna as a face covering, and had a basket in my hand.

I was walking down an aisle (marked one-way of course) and came to the end where a woman was looking at some product on the shelf. As soon as she caught my movement out of the corner of her she turned to me and asked "excuse me, do you work here?"

I actually laughed before I said no, and raised my hands as if to say "does it look like I do?" The woman quickly broke eye contact and walked past me (in the opposite direction). I continued on to the Milk and whatnot and didn't hear anything else of it.

It just struck me about how quickly she assumed the first person walking her direction was an employee. I knew I had to share.
