Grim Buffett behaviour

[Therunecaster]

On holiday in Spain.
Have just sat next to a family who allowed their little children to pick up the croissants/ bread/ pastries etc bring them back to the table. Then if they didn't want to eat the food they would take it back to the Buffett . Not before having a good old cough over the food though ...
Will be avoiding the baked goods for the rest of the week!

That’s disgusting. Why?

I was in Marks and Spencer’s yesterday. A child was picking up the doughnuts at the bakery section, licking the sugar off and putting them back.🤮 I said it to one if the staff who rolled his eyes.

Wildor- oh that's horrible

My pet buffet hate is people who go round a buffet picking bits off their plate to eat while they go round, licking their fingers then using the tongs on the next plate of food. Gross.
And any picking up of food with fingers.

That’s absolutely grim Therunecaster. Not surprised you will be avoiding the baked goods.
I had a similar experience in M & S 2 days ago, I had bought a sandwich along with other food and just as the checkout operator when to hold my sandwich she coughed into the very hand that she then moved the sandwich with. It was a grim cough too. Trouble is I’m too soft to say anything so the sandwich went straight in the bin, unopened. I cannot understand why checkout staff don’t have alcohol gel dispensers at their tills for instances like this, because I appreciate that we can’t always predict a coughing or sneezing fit. 🤢🤧

Nannewnannew, I had a similar experience in a cafe where the woman was getting me a takeaway roll with sausage - I binned it. If I had complained, she probably would have volunteered to make another, and I didn't want anything that she had contact with by that point.

In the same place, they have some food you can see in one of those hot plate things, it is open both sides - the customers go one side, the staff the other. One day I was queuing behind a man who looked a bit grimy and worse for wear - he was pleasant enough just a bit down at heel. He was speaking to the woman and as he spoke, spat all over the food in the cabinet. She saw, she saw that I saw - and yet she did nothing to remove the food from sale.

I didn't order anything from the hot plate.
