This. I would have immediately answered with the store hours. Or I would have said, "We close at..." The OP kinda deserves it for assuming he meant her personal hours.

I agree with 22. I work in fast food and on my first day, my manager told me to keep my personal information to myself, including my work hours. It is dangerous to give a complete stranger your hours, no matter how "cute" he or she might be.

#35: Had he said, "What time do you get off?" Then it's safe to assume he wants to know. If someone walks up and asks "What are your hours?" You should assume that since you are an employee and, most likely, easily recognizable as such, that he is inquiring about the hours of the establishment you're working for. Sorry, I don't have a similar mishap at all. I always assume that when Im at work, questions are work related (unless clearly stated differently).

I concur..

Overdesperate? As opposed to just the regular desperate?

To get back at him for doing...?

Get him back for nothing really, for OP's mistake for the hell of it. and yes, overdesperate. there's desperate then there's overdesperate

Emphasis on 'your', implying her hours, not the store's. (That's why I put it in upper case.)

now you look foolish for not even read what you're answering at!!!!

Did he lean forward and raise his eyebrows or wink... cause that would have helped, too... hahaha :P

That would have made his question a lot clearer. Ha ha

I think if he asked, "What are your hours?" with his penis hanging out then it'd be safe to assume he meant your personal hours.

A hanging penis is normal. It's the ones that wink you need to be weary of.

that's a bit harsh :/

It would just sound weird if there was an emphasis on 'your' in that particular phrase.

But it would justify the OP's mistake.

Accept the EPIC fail Vedder. It soothes the chicken noodle soul.

Oh, I totally accept the fail on the OP's part. I was simply offering a solution to avoid future embarrassment if this recent situation wasn't enough. ha ha
