to not want a cashier with an obvious dripping cold handling my shopping

[catkinq]

The cashier in Sainsbury's today served the gentleman in front and then stopped serving whilst she blew her nose many times, coughed hackingly and loudly discussed her cold with cashier next door. Then she held up her horrid sopping hanky by the corners, looked at it, refolded it carefully (I presume in order to try to find a drier bit) and blew her nose again. At this point I mumbled something about having "forgotten loads of things" and took all my shopping off the belt and scuttled off
Is it just me that does not want someone with such an obvious cold handling my fruit and veg?

eww gross

have they not got some alcohol disinfectant hand rub atleast
I don't blame you for moving

I dont blame you, egghhh

Agreed, Screamineagle. I've worked in retail, and the amount of time you are permitted to be ill is ridiculously small. And it's constantly being squeezed too. You're constantly in fear for your job if you ahve a serious illness. Disciplinary measures seem to come down ever faster.

I was about to say YABU after just reading the title but no, I do not think you actually are BU.

I agree with ggirl, as for o bvious reason the till person cannot leave every 2 minutes to wash their hands after blowing their nose it would make sense for them to use one of those gel things.
