Wore a nice pair of kahki shorts and a button down short sleeve shirt when we went to Disney last, and got more questions for directions and times that day. Didn't even have a nametag or anything LOL.
I've had that happen to me plenty in the past, usually when I am browsing/walking the aisles at a store and don't look completely lost like the general population. Must be the look of knowing what is going on that gets em.

I usually get asked if I work there whenever I go to Trader Joe's, since I almost always wear aloha shirts (with my kilt! and a pith helmet!).
So, you wear a pith helmet? In broad daylight? Right out there in front of God and everyone?
I'm inspired.

The talk of people being mistaken for employees reminds me of the Improv Everywhere prank where 80 people went into Best Buy in blue shirts and khakis.
I have never been mistaken for an employee while in a kilt but I have been mistaken for an entertainer. I showed up at a Christmas party for my hunting club and some of the members that didn't know me thought I was a performer and asked who hired me. After I told them I wasn't a hired performer and I was a member they asked if I would play anyway then seemed baffled that I didn't play bagpipes.

It's best to be prepared. Because when you gotta pith, you want to be ready

Stopped in to a pharmacy on my way home from a ceremony dressed like this:
A woman walks up to me and asks "Do you work here?"
I have had people not notice the kilt from time to time...usually when I'm wearing a t-shirt with some saying on it. My other half will come up and ask, "commenting on the kilt?" and the other person looks down and says, "oh, you're wearing a kilt!"
Ah, the entertainment of living among the distracted.

I had that happen a couple days ag in a Joe's Crab Shack. The girl that greeted us was very gothic looking. I was wearing my Nightstalker and Iron Maiden Killers hockey jersey. She said "Maiden!! Sweet!!" My wife said "Ususally people just comment on the kilt." The goth girls eyes them went my neather regions and bugged out of her head. She spent the whole evening hitting on me in front of my family... It was actually pretty funny. My other half got a kick out of it.
