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?
Yes, it’s just you. The $8/hour employee behind the counter is only doing her job. At least you weren’t ingested into an aircraft engine!
