I was in Tesco today and a man sprayed his armpits with deodorant

[Cocolapew]

Then went and opened mouthwash and had a gargle (then swallowed) and then used some hair gel.
I'm thinking he had a hot date.

A work colleague did his pharmacy training in Boots. He witnessed a man pick up a Vick Inhaler, unscrew it, stick it up his nose, screw it back up and replace it on the shelf.
There are some dirty mingers out there for sure.

I saw a lady suck the mayonnaise off an egg at the salad bar in Morrisons. Then she put the egg back in the egg mayonnaise section. The staff were too shocked to say anything and she just walked on 🤪

I'm just so glad that I've never bought anything from those open salad bar counters!

I wasn't standing staring ,I passed him having a spray then he went down the aisle I was in.
right back at ya

So funny!!

I saw a man open 3 different brands of mayo, stick his finger in each to try them and then put them back on the shelf when he had made his choice. Afterwards he moved on to honey and did the same. It was a long time before I could buy shop mayo or honey after that.

Now we know why food manufacturers introduced the vacuum button on the lid of jars. Its so you can weed out the jars that have been fingered by mingers.

I once saw a guy take a bath in one of the fountains in Trafalgar Square. He stripped to his kecks, jumped in, quickly lathered up and managed to leap out and dash off just as security arrived to move him on.

I was in boots once and a customer return some facial moisturiser because she said she'd used it and got a rash. She got a refund and the sales assistant put it back on the shelf!

I have not seen anything like that, but I have seen folks walk round eating stuff they have picked up, like a bag of haribo, and not put the wrapper through at the other end, just leave it in the trolley.

I can't decide if I'm impressed or appalled. 🤣

The thing is the staff do notice, and eventually they will be banned. The difference between Waitrose and other supermarkets is that the former do that during the first time it’s seen - saw someone take a bite out of fresh bread and try to put it back and before they could even try a security guard was right there. The person was forced to pay for the bread and then banned for life because apparently he also did the same with other products.

I've lived a sheltered life, apart from the perfume samples, have never noticed anything like this. Think I'm going for the 'second on the shelf' from now on.

Oh lord, the open salad bars. Manky manky manky. Urgh.

Please tell me that all of you who witness these gross things tell a staff member so they can remove the food items before some poor, unsuspecting bugger buys it?

One saw a woman shove loads of the kids sippy cups into the mouth of her tiny baby to see which one ‘she liked’ then put them back 🤮

I'm going to start growing all my own food 🤢

Not much point, they take no notice.
I once bought a jar of sauce without checking the button, was so pleased to find it as it was sold out, and the only one for sale. Took it home and found it had already been opened, so returned it and told them. When I went by the shelf it was already back on there to be sold again. (Asda).

Supermarket: One bag taken out of multipacks of crisps, sweets etc and eaten on the way round, fresh bakery eaten on the way round, food from the deli or hot counter eaten on the way, boxes of tissues opened so one can be taken and used etc etc. You'd be surprised at the amount of wrappers and half eaten food hidden behind other items on shelves that you discover when replenishing. Some people seem to view the shop as a mobile (free) picnic opportunity whilst shopping.

DH laughs at me taking the item from the back of the shelf and/or checking jar lids for the button. I'm going to show him this thread as you all vindicate my caution!
Some people are truly gross.

These are bonkers.
I was looking for a new hair wax in Superdrug earlier and decided to check the one I lifted. There were 2 big fingerprints in it 😟.
DD feels vindicated that she never takes the first one of anything.

What the actual fuck is wrong with people.
