8 minimum, 9 is a possibility. Definitely a humblebrag whether intentional or not.

Are you wearing the same colors at the staff?

Waitstaff at restaurants & cafes usually come to recognize customers after a few visits. The employee turnover must be high, for you to have to continue answering this same question?????

I can see how it'd be annoying but it's not something to get offended over.

"Elaborate" vocabulary and "accurate" vocabulary are not the same. We don't expect the former; however, I think most of us would appreciate the latter, online or offline.

Accurate? Tell me, what is so 'inaccurate' about my vocabulary in my initial post?

I do not see any major mistakes. Yes, maybe I wrote it in a simplistic manner, but I really do not see those so-called inaccuracies.

My vocabulary and grammar are not any worse than anyone else's on here.

By the way, it is not a 'restaurant' per se. It's more of a coffee shop. Not sure why I used the term 'restaurant'. This question was asked by females, so I hardly doubt they're trying to hit on me.
Get a sense of humor.

Yet, every single time I order something at this restaurant, they're always under the impression I work there for whatever reason.

I feel slightly offended yet it's flattering to a degree.

Would you take this as a 'compliment' (not that they were trying to compliment me, but you know what I mean)?
I'm like some others and would like to know why you feel slightly offended?

I would take it as a compliment. At the very least, an observation. Perhaps you're at the gym so frequently, they just assume you work there.

I was recently at Whole Foods. Spotted someone wearing a jacket and a hat with the Whole Foods logo. I said "Excuse me, can you tell me where I can find kombucha?" They very rudely informed me that they don't work there. And I said "Oh. I thought you do because of the hat and jacket." And I walked away .

Compliment. And huge humble brag......

People always think I work at places like TJMax, grocery stores, etc. I'm pretty sure it's because of my shopping style that I look more like I'm "inspecting" things than buying.
