She said people touched the drink before it got in the cooler. 🙄 True, but she could’ve potentially rang up hundreds of transactions which the buyers also touched before she got to mine
I’ll take my chances with a couple of people touching the drinks in the cooler versus the cashier ringing up hundreds of people and both touching the drinks.
She then picked up one of the drinks by the top, where the mouth goes and rang it up.
I told her I was never coming back to that store again. I should’ve just walked out, like I did one other time.
So, is it just me?

No. People are nasty.
I go through paper towels at home like crazy. I'm always walking around with a couple bunched up in my hand. Makes my wife nits because they are everywhere.
I try to touch as few things as possible when out in the wild.
I make judicious use of sanitizing stations when they are available.
Or Costco, I'll hit the head before leaving.
At restaurants I will wash my hands before eating. Actually in public if I have to pee, I wash my hands before I touch my junk then again afterwards.
I'm not a germaphobe, I don't like my hands to feel dirty and people are disgusting filthy pigs.
