What's khaki, red, and misleading?

You might already know about this. You may have been fooled. You'll surely want to go and see.
The answer? What's khaki, red, and misleading? Target shoppers who dress like employees. Has it happened to you? You're looking for something, but not ready to ask for assistance. You've made eye contact with 3 or 4 authentic employees, but you're not really in need of their help quite yet. You'll find what you're looking for. Besides, Target is a pleasant store, and for the most part, full of pleasant people; a leisurely walk around the aisles isn't an inconvenience. Finally, you decide that it's time to get some help. You see red and ask, "excuse me, where can I find the microscopes?" The woman turns and you realize that she's not an employee. She just happens to be wearing a red top and khaki pants. As you continue your walk around store, slightly embarrassed, but still looking for the science section, you begin to notice the multiple decoys that are out shopping today. I'd be curious to know if it's happened to you. Or, have you been the one wearing the red? Keep your eyes peeled; you'll find it curious.
