The Cashier at Lowe's Hates Me

[JettaKnight]

Was I out of line here?

Yup.

Did you pay with cash and get change back?

Did you really buy just one item then ask for a bag?

How clean do you intend to keep these pliers?

How annoyed are friends and family with you?

Couldn't count how many times I was pulled inside from oslg when I worked there. Her licking her fingers is near bottom of the list of things you should be concerned about.

What?

String up the OP for needing a bag. String up the cashier for spreading spit. There. Problem solved. I licked this post.

Why did you need a bag for a single pair of pliers?

While I understand where you are coming from, I think you are making a bigger deal out of it than it needs to be. Think of all the things you touch in a normal day.

Also, do you sanitize your tools after using them?

I rarely ask for bags if I am buying just a few items.
Have you seen any videos of plastic bags in the ocean, killing off marine life? For that reason alone I avoid plastic bags. Yes my wife and I use cloth bags at the store and bag our own food and supplies.

But to get back on topic, if she were handling food, yes it would bother me. As far as your pliers go, just wash them off, and wash your hands (which I'm sure you do anyway).

I understand not wanting to take plastic bags you don't need. But I hope you wash your cloth bags, especially when trasnporting food.

I'm also sure the stock boy dropped the kids off at the pool right before putting those pliers on the shelf all without washing his hands, but at least I didn't witness it. I can at least pretend everything is fine.

Did you touch anything in the store. Did you open any doors other than your own. Do you use sani-wipes after shaking someones hand...........Just curious.

Why don't you use self check-out if you don't want others touching you stuff??

We have not washed our bags (good idea though) all of our food is packaged. Fresh fruits and veggies are packaged in the plastic bags in the produce area. For meat ( we buy very little, 1/2 our family is vegatarian/vegan) we do use the plastic bags at the check-out, so that it does not contaminate the other food.

Do you use sani-wipes

I would if Miley Cyrus was in the hammer aisle!

The pussification of America continues. New pliers? Really? Why did you need a ****ing bag for a set of pliers to begin with? Yeah, I think you were out of line.

I'm more interested in why you needed a bag

Make sure you launder those frequently; they're well known as breeding grounds for bacteria.

OP, has anyone ever suggested you may be Aspergian/slightly autistic? This smells of autism spectrum to me.

Does she have a fever? Is she expressing signs and symptoms. Maybe she needs to be quarantined for 21 days.

Much like I send food back if I see the kitchen staff not wearing gloves, I'd get another pair of pliers.

People need more self-monitoring to notice when they do these habitual things... like licking their fingers. It's a disgusting habit, especially in that sort of position where you're working with money and customers.

But, I also avoid places or lines with disgusting-looking people.

I'm a mysophobe.

The world is dirty. You can either try to keep yourself from being exposed to it and fail or relax and probably get sick less often.

I am convinced our recent clean fetishes have led to more sickness.

 

[DanSwanky]

Unless the cashier put on a show of blatant hand sucking I honestly doubt I would have even noticed.

 

[BiscuitNaBasket]

I'm a bit of a germaphobe so I'd have a hard time ignoring that too.
