A young woman, about 25 y.o, comes into the store I work at about 2:00 this afternoon. She's got kitchy sunglasses, she has a lollypop in her mouth that she takes out and waves around as she talks. She's carrying a teddy bear kind of thing attached by a strap around her mid-section, and wearing what I can only describe as a grownup version of a black and white little kids dress. She also has a large cloth bag over her arm that looks like a cross between a sack for holding kid toys (it had little toy figures as its design) and a trick or treat bag.
So I asked if she was on her way to a Halloween Party. "No, why?" she asks. Cuz of your little kid costume, I respond. She stops dead in her tracks and say, "No, I just got off of work." And I'm pretty sure she wasn't kidding.
I quickly excused myself and hid in the backroom until she left.
TL:DR: Asked a young woman if she was dressed for Halloween today when she was just coming home from work. Yes I'm a Boomer. No I was not trying to be mean, just retail friendly. And yes I was at a complete loss for words and hid until she left the store.
