Green skin man touched bread in supermarket

[Lecx]

At the supermarket I saw a man with a greenish complexion in the bakery department. He also has a hospital patient band on. He touched some bread in one of the open bread baskets.

Should I have told someone? I didn't as I didn't think it was my business and would be rude but I would t want to eat that bread.

Just ask Kermit:

BEING GREEN

I would never buy bread from those displays as I have seen too many people touch the produce without using the tongs. Not to mention kids picking their noses then picking up crossaints 'Mum pleeeeease'. People who buy loose items know the Risks IMO.
The man's pallor could be due to anything - genetics , liver disease, side effects of chemotherapy or other drugs. How do you know for sure that it was a hospital bracelet? Just because someone is unwell doesn't mean they are infectious.
I would mind your own beeswax if I were you. Are you going to stalk him round the store making a note of which items he touches, which basket he used, which £10 note he gave to the cashier, which door handle he used to exit?

Stobbit!!!!!

FLMAO!

crying here

It may have been hypo-anaemia.

Either way, that's the risk you take with loose bread. People touching them

The unwrapped bread in those displays is usually dry as old arseholes in my experience. I hope he got a nice wrapped slice one.

Sharon had been doing him all night dirty mare

That's maybe why he was green that Sharon might have given him some disease That landed him in hospital hence the band

More dirty mitted little kids touch bread than I care to think about - and some parents don't care.

I vowed to stop buying loose bread after I saw a child lick a pain au chocolat in Sainsburys and then be told to put it back (which he did) by his mother.

I agree with you Sparkling

Poor man, if his immune system is low, the last thing he wants to be doing is picking up contaminated bread. A nice wrapped toastie loaf is what he needs.

Hypochromatic anaemia causes a green tinge to skin, totally uncontagious. If fact I can't really think of anything that could cause green tinged skin which is contagious.

I'd be more worried about snotty children and unhygienic staff tbh.

[Sparklingbrook]

Exactly Maat. His immune system doesn't need sneezed on bread.

[Lecx]

Yes I felt sorry for him, which is why I did nothing as I didn't want to hurt his feelings. But I was worried as he did look very unwell, I have never seem anyone that colour before.

You have all put me off those bread baskets now.

[Silverlace]

I can beat you on green skinned people and snotty children in supermarkets. I saw a robin in the bread aisle of Tesco this morning. It flew over my head and perched on top of a stack of plastic bread trays.

I did wonder what would happen when it spotted the freshly baked bread section and all those seeded rolls, I have seen the mess they make on my bird table!

Did you mean to make your thread title sound like a headline from a tabloid newspaper?

[FunnyLittleFrog]

Best thread title of the day.

[ComposHat]

Sharon is that you? We re you in there to buy more wine and a can of raid to deal with the wasps?

[RobbinyoureastereggsSparkles]

The thread title reads like a headline of the Daily Bugle!

[TheOrchardKeeper]

WHERE WAS IT!!!?

(I don't want to go to work tomorrow so may go and have a lcik of those rolls)

[TheOrchardKeeper]

*lick

[Baabaapinksheep]

Yes you should have told somebody...

Mulder and Scully.

[notsofrownieface]

Are you sure he didn't just overdo it with the fake tan? I have seen some green people from that.

[Mandy2003]

Zomble?!

[GrowSomeCress]

I feel sorry for the man but seriously the title of this thread is hilarious

[LeeCoakley]

Was it tiger bread he was touching? The scabs on top are supposed to be there so don't worry.

[Chockyeggpants]

Morrisons or Asda??
