to ask the sales assistant to wash her hands

[careergirl]

I don't think i was tbh
It was Boots. I bought a yoghurt, wrapped sandwich (thank god!)

As I went to the counter the sales assistant was sniffing then wiped her nose with the back of her hand then picked up my items saying do you want a bag....

I actually said... I would like to put those back please and change them..and really you should have washed your hands before touching them because you've just wiped your nose with the back of your hand.

She went a bit red and washed her hands with some anti bac on the counter so I wondered if someone had mentioned something earlier

But I felt very awkward like I was being difficult..but really I'm not am I?

[HotCrossPun]

Of course YABU.

[Theicingontop]

And then threw away the new sandwich!!!!! ...!!!

I'm sorry, that's still bugging me.

She wiped her nose with the back of her hand. The snot was on the back of the hand. YABU.

[Creameggkr]

You asked to put the stuff back? Is it ok for someone else to have snotty packages then?

[ImTooHecsyForYourParty]

ha! Flouncy. I love that. I've had it on my profile for yonks.

[Salmotrutta]

Will there be deletion s do we think?

I love a good deletion.

I'm in the yanbu camp, not that I would have asked because I wipe my nose on my sleeve too and rarely worry about germs hardly anywhere.

I think yabu to ask here & then argue. Don't ask unless you genuinely don't know if you were U.

This is mumsnet. We are allowed to swear. No thread will be deleted for people swearing unless it was a personal attack.

So cunting cunt cunty thing is driving me bonkers = no deletion.

you are a cunt = that single post not the whole thread - deleted.

[Weener]

What flavour sandwich was it?

[BettySuarez]

OP has this thread make you rethink what you did?

[twofingerstoGideon]

I'm a sales assistant and i am fed up of customers coming into my shop and sneezing all over me and the products i sell. If you had spoken to me like that i would of refused to serve you.
Then probably wiped my crack on your ham salad!

Wow. That is revolting. There's been loads of support for the shop assistant on this thread, but if this is the other perspective on this... words fail me.

[AllYoursBabooshka]

This thread is making my nose itch.

[PeneloPeePitstop]

How controlling.
This is a public forum, you've reported the entire thread because you don't like some of the responses you're getting?

Oh very dear.

[careergirl]

Sorry keep cutting myself off! I noted that one poster used the C word and that is why I have reported the thread.

[careergirl]

And on that note ....the thread has now been reported for offensive content.

[toffeelolly]

you were being rude, next time you go out you should wear mask over your face

[QueenFee]

I think yabu but my dh thinks yanbu.

Make of that what you wish

[Kiriwawa]

This thread is nonsense because you have no idea what the sales asst was doing before you got to the till. She might have had her fingers up her bum. Or knuckle deep in a vat of toxic waste.

But because she didn't have a tissue (and I've been there on the tube and it's embarrassing enough having a runny noses and nothing to wipe it with) you decided to humiliate her.

Bully for you. Your food was wrapped. You could probably have sunk it in a vat of guano and it would have been edible.

[OhDearieDearieMe]

Is this a made up thread???


One might also wonder quietly to oneself whether the Pope is Argentinian

[BettySuarez]

So OP you are sensitive to being insulted but have no qualms about humiliating another person in public?

The germs are not really the issue here. Humiliating another human being is really really awful though.

I imagine it will take her a long time to get over it.

Enjoy your sandwich
