A word to the wise: don’t ever, ever wear red to Target.

Shoppers will think you work there and you’ll spend your entire time in the store answering questions instead of buying a new shower curtain and some motor oil.

You might even get bothered by actual Target employees who think you’re one of their co-workers.

However you look at it, it’s not a good idea. Here are some folks who learned this lesson the hard way.
