We are all aware that wearing clothes of the same color as the uniform of a store you are at for shopping can become a hassle. There is a chance of a lot of people stopping you mistaking you for an employee, and interrupting your shopping experience. In some cases when you tell them you don’t work at the store, it works and people continue on with their shopping. But some people like an evolved Karen don’t listen to you, call you a liar, and force you to help them. This can be really daunting, infuriating, and terrible.

Reddit user toxiccasual after completing work made a stop at a store to grab cat food for her pet and some essentials. As soon as she stepped in the store, she realized she was wearing clothe of the same color as the uniform of the workers. She knew she would definitely get stopped by people so decided activated here stealth mode and literally shopped through the entire store, grabbing everything she needed, in a way that she didn’t catch anyone’s eye, and successfully managed to leave without any issues. The story will definitely give you video game or movie vibes.

You know those games like Assassins Creed where you can use stealth mode to creep behind the enemies and strik them, OP literally has that feature but in real life. This was very cool and so fun to read through. And you have to give credit to the old man for understanding what OP told him, without any verbal communication.

Maybe it is the social anxiety she has that made her shop in such a cool way. I would call it her plus point in this case.
