Da standard "please bear with me --- I'm not familiar with this type or purchase" preamble-remark dat you ruefully tell a store-employee whom you ask for assistance in finding/choosing one or more items dat you never use yourself, and so you have less of an idea of how to shop for it or maybe even where it's stocked in da store.
Two good examples of when you might tell a staffperson, "I'm shopping for someone else..." might be if you were looking for a type of media-entertainment (such as books, music, or movies) dat you have no interest in yourself, or if you merely lived a simple bachelor's existence and were procuring "fussy female stuff" items for a lady-friend, such as cosmetics, dress-up clothing, fancy table-setting accessories, etc.

Get the I'm shopping for someone else...mug. An employee who performs all the demeaning but no less important tasks at their place of employment. This person is usually young, obedient, and malleable. They are "yes" people who know where everything is, and posses a "lifer" like disposition. Their wage is considered overhead because when overly busy, they accomplish too many different types of tasks and jobs in one day to be categorized to any specific Work Order to be billed. A Shop Goat is usually dirty and sweaty from working hard. They are usually made from high school drop-outs or fatherless children. They are usually easily taken advantage of and will perform the lowest of tasks unrelated to The Company such as feeding the dog (in reference to their employers pets).
I'm not sure why Johnnie continues to put up with his job when they don't value Him, they just need a shop goat. His potential is pigeonholed!
