Would you mind someone at your table having an injection whilst sitting there?

  1. Person being injected is not in your party
  2. Not insulin or anything immediately life saving, a vaccination

YANBU- wouldn't mind
YABU- it's gross

Why would they be getting vaccinated in a cafe?

Clymene · 07/01/2022 19:11

I don't think it's gross but it's really odd

Thehop · 07/01/2022 19:11

Insulin fine. Anything non time sensitive or urgent is attention seeking

Theballoonsinthesky · 07/01/2022 19:11

I would think it was really strange! Why were they getting a vaccine in a cafe?

SavoyCabbage · 07/01/2022 19:12

I probably wouldn't notice if I wasn't with them. And if I did, I'd assume it was important and I wouldn't have any information to tell me otherwise.

WorraLiberty · 07/01/2022 19:12

I'd think it was weird but no I wouldn't mind.

NoSquirrels · 07/01/2022 19:12

I can’t picture this.

A vaccination in a cafe at a table being shared by different people who aren’t together?

Sounds odd.

Sweetbabyrays · 07/01/2022 19:12

Wouldn’t really like the idea, I wouldn’t go back if it was a continuous thing.

maslinpan · 07/01/2022 19:12

I would be very surprised, would perhaps appreciate a warning, but I don't think it is gross in any way.

WorraLiberty · 07/01/2022 19:13

'Gross' is a pretty strange word to use though?

rrhuth · 07/01/2022 19:13

You need to say what it is, because anything medical no I personally would not mind. If it was lip fillers, I would be put off my food!

BlusteryLake · 07/01/2022 19:13

Well that would be weird for anything other than an insulin pen. Why would someone do that in a cafe as opposed to the GP or at home? I don't think it would put me off my food per se, but I would definitely prefer it if they didn't.

MaryAndHerNet · 07/01/2022 19:14

No thank you.

If I go to a cafe I wouldn't be expecting to share a table with people getting injections same as if I went to McDonald's I wouldn't expect to share with someone being anally probed.

NoSquirrels · 07/01/2022 19:14

Are you a paying customer in this cafe?

Or is it like a school canteen, workplace canteen or community centre, where the only viable space to set up the vaccination status is in the canteen/cafe space?

XenoBitch · 07/01/2022 19:14

I can't think why anyone would be having a vaccination in a cafe in full view of the diners there. And if they were not in your party, how would you have known what they were being injected with?

NoSquirrels · 07/01/2022 19:14

@MaryAndHerNet

No thank you.

Context would help, why were they having it?

HopeYourHighHorseBucks · 07/01/2022 19:14

Medication fine, heroin I would raise an eyebrow at.

Comedycook · 07/01/2022 19:15

Horrible imo.

MargeSimpson00 · 07/01/2022 19:15

@NoSquirrels

I can’t picture this.

Sounds odd.

I know, was trying to be vague but I can see more detail is needed. Cafe is attached to apartments, isn't exclusively for tenants but mostly used by them. Large tables people share when not together.

Ok but injected with what? Medicine - fine. Heroin? Not.

fitzbilly · 07/01/2022 19:15

I can't imagine ever viewing an injection as gross in any way.

Would be an unusual sight but not gross.

ladyinthecampervan · 07/01/2022 19:16

I’m quite squeamish and I’d hate that. I’d find it rude and inappropriate.
Obviously anything essential like insulin etc I’d tolerate and just try not to look, but non-urgent injections shouldn’t done in a cafe IMO.
A first aid room, manager’s office, screened off zone or more secluded area would be fine.

HopeYourHighHorseBucks · 07/01/2022 19:16

But no I wouldn't find it gross etc. Strange for sure but luckily my eyes move, I could look elsewhere.

NoSquirrels · 07/01/2022 19:17

Homeless hostel or student accommodation?

Presumably the vaccination station was there first, before you ordered paid and sat down?
