In my late 20s, whenever a store employee said "did you find everything okay?" I would always answer, "yeah, but I didn't like the way it was organized."

I was not trying to be a rebel. I was clearly not protesting the commercialization of modern-day society. I think it was the first thing that came to mind, and it was kind of funny.<br><br>Some people would just go about their day, mildly confused, and others would ask what I meant by that. My response would be: "well, I think you need to regroup things. For example, your t-shirts are all the way in the back. Why are your t-shirts all the way in the back? You don't see many people buying t-shirts. You should move the t-shirts closer to the front of the store, or at least the t-shirt section."<br><br>The first time I did this, a customer heard my response and chimed in saying, "Yeah, have you ever thought about deodorant? Do you know how hard it is to find your deodorant in this store? Why is the deodorant over there and the toothpaste way over here? These are both maintenance products. They go together."<br><br>The employee got very pissed off, and I got the feeling that the customer and I were about to be escorted out of the store.<br><br>While doing some research for this post, I found that there is a sub-reddit dedicated to this very thing. It's called "shitsherlock" and the idea is that you go into a store and ask an employee where maintenance products are. For example, you would go into a Target and ask where the deodorant is.<br><br>Sometimes, employees get very mad and sometimes they are very understanding. I wonder if I inadvertently started the shit sherlock movement, or if I just happened to stumble upon a common sentiment that also happened to be a chambers theme.<br><br>Either way, I know this was not a "crime" or even close to breaking the law, but I guess I was my own meme character for a while.<br><br>By the way, I have no clue what the title to this post is referencing.
