[Publib] Browsing and finding things, etc.

John,
When we went to register for our wedding at Target, my husband-to-be
wore a red polo. Duh! I told him if we had $1 for everyone that stopped
to ask him a question, thinking that he worked there, we could probably
have paid for a large part of the wedding. :-)

I do get asked questions at the grocery store, usually beginning with,
"Do you work here?"  Often, in fact, while I am trying to figure out why
the kitchen trash bags are on a short aisle with greeting cards and NOT
with the bigger displays of soap, detergent, scrub brushes, sponges, and
other things that might, uh, seem to be sort-of related to trash bags.
