Can I help you?

We so frequently see people enter the store and look completely bewildered. It's a big store and it can be confusing. When I'm out on the floor and see someone wandering around with "the look," I always ask if I can help direct them (see, I'm not always mean).

I think I took it too far the other day when, as I was walking down the street, I saw someone exit the T with a confused expression, and said, "Can I help you find something?" It was such a natural instinct that only afterwards I thought to myself, "Wow. You are a weirdo. Who DOES that?"

And you know she's totally back in Minnesota saying, "Bostonians are SOOOO nice and helpful." Which? Hahahaha. (And if more people than I were nice to her, it can only be because the weather is being so wacky that we're not sure where we live anymore.)
