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?

She treated you in exactly the same manner in which she treats every other customer. The fact that her doing so upset you in some way is a very strong indication that yes, it is you. Unfortunately, not
just you. There are far too many out there just like you.
The fact that you have special requirements that you expect everyone else to follow is your problem, not their problem. You cannot expect others to accommodate you, to treat you differently than they treat everyone else. Those expectations are both unrealistic and extremely selfish.
If you are that level of germaphobe, it's up to
you to glove up, carry alcohol wipes, wash your hands, use hand sanitizer, wear a mask, and whatever else it takes to make you feel "safe". It's absolutely fine if you want to be this careful, but you need to understand that you cannot push this off on others and expect them to treat you differently than they treat others.
You owe that young lady an apology.
