This happened to me recently, there's a group of people confusing me for a humanitarian artist because I stood up for her in front of the wrong people, and now I notice my copyrights/trademarks are intertwined with hers because the misconception is socially innate.

Same thing that always happens, I got asked where something was in a store I don't work at.

Doesn't matter what I wear, apparently I just scream "retail employee". It's gotten depressing, kinda.

Try wearing a T shirt 'I am not an employee at this shop'

I get this sometimes if i wear my black work polo to a shop after i finish work, though i take a small bit of satisfaction in saying 'yeah no idea mate' and turn and walk off and keep browsing. They usually stare for a few seconds with mouth open before they realise the assumption/mistake they have made
