Abroad on holiday with DC for half term and I had the most shocking encounter that I can't forget today and most likely never buy ice cream again.
DC wanted gelato from a beach front cafe. It was busy pizza and ice cream place so I went up to the counter where a youngish chap was serving another woman before me. She got her order and was directed to the other counter to pay. I went up next and said hello (in the local language as I do always make an effort) he said hello back and sort of bent to one side and I saw through the glass of the counter that he spat out a massive amount of spit. I couldn't see where it landed and didn't hang around to find out. Literally marched my DC out of there. It was so disgusting, I still have the image in my head. 🤮🤮🤮
Thankfully DC was happy with a packaged Magnum from the next stand.
