I don't work here, I am literally 12
Years ago, I went to music lessons at a store where they requested students to wear a lanyard with "student" and the name of your instrument on it. I was 12, and for context I was frequently mistaken for being 10. I was small for my age, and had chubby cheeks and braces. I was hanging around the store after my lesson, waiting for my ride, when this older couple walked up to me. The old man asked me if I could get a guitar down off the wall for him. I said sure, because I absolutely loved to be helpful. He points to one in the uppermost row. They have the forbidden rolling orange stairs like at home depot right next to where he's pointing, but I told him I didn't think I was allowed to go up there.
He became very upset with me, and he and his wife both kept demanding that I go get the guitar while I kept refusing, and calling me lazy and stupid for not doing my job and saying I should be fired. I am also trying to tell them that I am just a kid, but they insist my lanyard is part of a uniform. Somehow they missed that in a stunning display of tween fashion I had matched a captain america shirt with a hello kitty skirt and yellow crocs (it was my favorite outfit), which is not the uniform of anyone anywhere.
So this couple is still yelling at me and I'm freaking out because I was always told to respect my elders, but they've got me literally backed into a corner and they wont believe what I'm telling them. So this employee heard the shouting and came over to see what was going on, and saw that some memaw and pepaw had cornered a kid, and he told them to back off and leave me alone. They tried to explain their side of the story to him, and he tried to tell them I was *a child* who didn't work there, which I dont think they fully believed. He offered to take down the guitar for them, which they accepted. I went outside to wait for my mom, and for every lesson from there on out I would immediately go outside as soon as I finished.
