Woman sneezing loudly and not covering nose wwyd?!

[SuperFlyHigh]

I was out the other afternoon with my mum in sainsburys, popped round to see her and she said she wanted some bits so would I help carry. Fine I said.

So we're pushing a trolley round the aisles when suddenly we hear and see a woman (obviously the mum) and her adult DD pushing a trolley and the mum sneezing very loudly and not covering her mouth/nose or using a tissue at all.

If it had been once or twice then hey ho but she carried on round aisles got to fruit and veg and carried on sneezing. I think her DD was a bit embarrassed as she tried to distance herself. Anyway I know it wasn't just me judging as I heard another woman loudly complain and to the people on the deli counters. They just sighed and shrugged. Of course mum and I did shopping as quickly as we could then left the store.

I rang my mum on Monday and surprise surprise she has a bad cold (I have one too but not as bad).

Anyway would we have BU to complain to customer service staff? Should we have done so?! I get she was a paying customer.

The woman seemed a bit chavvy but not unusually so....

Thanks for reading!

[dementedpixie]

Maybe she had hay fever rather than the cold. And yes ywbu to complain to the store, what on earth do you think they should have done??

[NeedACleverNN]

The woman seemed a bit chavvy but not unusually so....



Seriously!

No you can't complain to customer services either!

[dementedpixie]

And have for the chavvy comment

[MilkTwoSugarsThanks]

WTF would Customer Services do about it?

[Bagatelle1]

Please do complain to Customer Services...and then come back and tell us what they say

[Ivegotyourgoat]

Definitely complain. Actually it's not too late, you could pop in now, update and tell us what they say.

[DraenorQueen]

I'd pay real money to watch you complain to customer services that a woman is sneezing.... but have a big fat for your stupid chavvy comment.

[DontBuyANewMumCashmere]

101 should do it.

Joke. Do not complain to anyone about a woman sneezing without covering her mouth.

[LuciaInFurs]

She was disgusting but there is nothing customer services could do. I carry a scarf all year round because of people like this.

[TondelayaDellaVentamiglia]

you don't get this sort of behaviour in Waitrose or M&S

[Grilledaubergines]

It's obviously giving you cause for concern OP if it happened 'the other afternoon' and it's still messing with your head.

What would you like Customer Services to do about it?

[jobrum]

In case the mother if the baby I sneezed over on the bus the otherday is reading this sneezing thread with interest: its hayfever, not a cold and I'm really sorry!

I didn't think cold germs lived very long outside the body? Unless you were close by and hit with a sneeze would you catch a cold?

[Witchend]

Of course you caught the cold from her... How else would you and your dm, who obviously spend some tine together, both have a cold.

I think you need to email customer services as I was in Sainsbury's last week and they all seemed a bit low and could have done with a good laugh.

[GabiSolis]

Chavvy? FFS seriously?

[Fluffyears]

Unless you touched the same surfaces as her you would not have caught anything from her. Colds are not airborne.

It sounds more like hayfever if it was constant.

I'd love to see you complain what exactly would you like the store to do?

[BennyTheBall]

Arf at complaining to the staff about a customer sneezing.

[FatPaul]

OP you sound precious.

[oldlaundbooth]

'The woman seemed a bit chavvy but not unusually so...'



In Sainsbo's too!!!!!

Actually laughed out loud at that one OP.

[TheDuchessOfArbroathsHat]

What I wouldn't give to be working on Customer Services the day you do this You sound unhinged to be honest and here's another for your collection.

[dudsville]

... but not unusually so. .. ha ha ha ha ha ha!

[oldlaundbooth]

What was this chav-tastic sneezer wearing?

Did you check her basket? Did she have hummus?

[wannabehippyandcrazycatlover]

[TheWeeBabySeamus1]

Oh good lord. A disgusting chavvy human dared sneeze in your and your DMs presence. It's times like this I wish they'd bring back capital punishment - dirty, sneezing bastards.

To avoid any more horrendous incidents like this in future, might I suggest only shopping in Waitrose. I have it on good authority that any one prone to such disgusting outbursts of sneezing are rugby tackled to the ground, dragged outside to the stocks ( they keep them in the car park ) and pelted with organic, on the vine tomatoes before being shipped back to whatever chavvy part of town they're from. And Sainsburys should obviously ban the offending chav for life from their stores and offer you lots of £££s to compensate you for this traumatic experience.

I'm so sorry that this happened for you ( oh shit, I have hay fever - ATCHOOOO! )

[originalmavis]

I'd write to my MP.

[SuperFlyHigh]

Ok so if I take the word chavvy out does this make it any more right?!

I don't think so, she was sneezing as she went loudly no tissue, no covering of nose, and doing this for at least 5 if not 10 minutes, not stopping, so sneeze, 2 seconds, sneeze etc...
