The F--k Had To Be A MAGA!!!

I'm shopping at Amazon Fresh Market near my home. I saw a man there putting his fingers in the food bar and tasting the food. WTF!!! I rarely snitch, but it's a health hazard so I told the cashier as I checked out. That's why I rarely eat at a buffet.

and waitressed in a local restaurant. She said she'd go into the kitchen to pick up an order and the "chef" would have his shoes and socks off massaging his feet . . . while still cooking at the stove.

Partly because the cost is ridiculous, but the main reason is because of this type of thing. I worked in restaurants for years and people are just gross. Diners AND staff did things that just blew my mind.

7. I once saw a woman sit down on the edge of one of the refrigerated meat counters...

...in a local grocery store. She was substantially built, and her ass definitely protruded far enough into the cooling unit to make contact with several of the packages of meat. I was totally grossed out, and brought it to the attention of store personnel.

Not exactly related, but a similar gross incident was the time I saw a woman walk barefoot into one of the public bathrooms at a highway rest stop. Given the thousands of people that use those facilities, the thought of walking barefoot in one gives me the heebie-jeebies.

I also hate having to take my shoes off at airport security. I usually bring a second set of socks to immediatey change into before putting my shoes back on.

11. I've never seen a dog in a grocery store in the U.S.

Usually the meats are at least at waist level, so I don't know how they could lick the package.

Many countries in Europe keep cats in their stores because it signifies cleanliness. I remember walking past a bakery and seeing a cat curled up asleep in the window next to the breads and pastries. It was a normal sight.

I've seen the same thing at my store.

Not to mention I had to beg the store manager to stop putting out salad and food bar offerings at the beginning of Covid.

The "grazers" are still putting their unwashed hands into the grapes and the pistachio nuts.
