Fruit, the throwing of meat, and drool

[ktopmil]

I have been working as a cashier for almost three years, so I've seen some doozys.

Fruit and drool guy

I had just started to ring out this middle aged couple. The guy hands me two white peaches to ring up, saying that he wanted to eat them right there. He continues ot eat them am ringing up the rest of their order. I tell them the total, reach out to get his wifes check. All of a sudden, he plops the two eaten white peach cores in my hand, drool and all. All I could do was stare at my hand with contempt. Then his wife sweetly says, "Oh, honey, he just wants you to throw them away."

WTF, sure I'll throw them...at your face!

Thank God the next lady in line was kind enough to let me wash my hands in the bathroom. Lol, she practicly demanded I do so.

[Boozy]

What in hell made this couple think that was acceptable?!

You can't just put your trash in someone's hands, especially if its been in your mouth. They must have been raised by wolves.

I would have told that guy off, but then again I don't care if I lose my job. I refuse to tolerate stuff like that. It is disgusting and could potentially be a hazard to my health. It's one of the reason I want to own my own business. That shit won't fly in my store.

Ewww. Haven't had that happen, but people will sometimes try to hand you kleenex/napkins. Look, I don't know what you did with it or what's in it. Let me hold out the trash for you and you can throw it away. Also, don't DON'T hand me damp money. I don't know why it's damp and I get queezy at the thought. And keep those coupons or things I have to scan out of your and your child's mouth. I don't like handling spit. Sadly, the list goes on and on.

I would have dropped them on the floor right at his feet.

So what about the throwing of meat? I want to hear both stories.

[Becks]

I wonder if people doing that at my store is the reason why half the cashiers wear gloves now.

[Whyme]

I would have given a little scream and automatically dropped them on the counter. When people try to give me their tissues to throw away I hold up the trash can. Some of them look offended when I do that but tough. I know where the lip of the trash can I'm touching has been (well I kind of know), I don't know what the hell is in that tissue.

[Cyphr]

umm i think the flesh of a peach is called the meat and the core called the pit so would it be pit throwing instead of meat throwing?

[ktopmil]

Oh sorry. I had meat (steak) thrown. I was working our self checkouts, and a guy couldn't get his steak to ring up correctly, so I went to help him. After I tried it once, he got so mad that he threw it into the cart, the cart I happend to be standing practicaly in front of. He's lucky it missed me.

Nope, wolves are good parents. These two were obviously raised by wild assmarmots.

[Dreamstalker]

I was going to say, please don't offend the wolves.

All of a sudden, he plops the two eaten white peach cores in my hand, drool and all. All I could do was stare at my hand with contempt. Then his wife sweetly says, "Oh, honey, he just wants you to throw them away."

I can just imagine how i'd want to react....

"He can throw them out himself. That is DISGUSTING. It's covered with his spit! ... Can someone please get me some hand sanitizer?"

And of course putting them right back in their hands...

If they complain... "I really don't care. Do you seriously think ANYONE wants to touch your spit covered trash?"

Then barf on them.
