AIBU to find opened cosmetics in supermarkets really unhygienic?

Finding opened and used or tried cosmetics in supermarkets makes me cringe. AIBU to think it's disgusting and wonder what's wrong with people?

If they are marked tester I think it’s fine and you can take a decision. yanbu at all about anyone opening them otherwise when someone may not notice.

Can't say I ever come across this to be honest.

Are you sure you're not just thinking of the testers?

Surely they're just testers.

Which you know will have been tested?

How do you get through life with this level of gip?
Confused

Definitely not testers, no. Would you buy cosmetics that have ripped boxes and fingerprint marks? I wouldn't.

Nobody would you just grab a different one just like i won't buy a bottle of pop that had been opened or an apple with a bite out of it
