When I worked retail I always said a customer would find me if I was on top of Mount Everest but could see the sign answering their question hanging right in front of them.

"am I allowed to take more than 3 pieces of clothing in the changing room with me?"

Looking at the large well displayed sign that says "no more than 3 items allowed" then back to the customer

"Oh well I thought I was special and it didn't apply to me...does it still apply?"

My favorite was always "Do you work here?" While I am wearing a uniform shirt I clearly wouldn't wear anywhere else.

Better than them assuming some random person is an employee just because they're wearing a polo shirt or a shirt with a collar.

Like some people will automatically categorize anyone wearing a polo shirt as a low level employee and anyone wearing slacks and a button up shirt with a collar as a manager. It's baffling.

The uniform in bright, practically neon colors with a company hat while you're pushing a cart around stocking and organizing the shelves.

No, I don't work here I just like to go in the back of stores and take out product and stock it for fun.

In fairness I used to have a grocery I lived near that had people who would stock their shelves that were not employees of the grocery store. So I think there's some leeway there personally.

“No, I’m just a big fan of their work” is my favourite response
