This is nasty

I have a gripe about cashiers who spit on their fingers to open shopping bags in stores. This has got to stop.

In every store I go into, they lick their fingers to open my bags, then they reach for my products to ring them up. Before they get that far, I stop them.

I’m sorry, but I don’t do the spit thing. They get very upset, as if I give a hoot.

This is nasty. I’ve had this problem from grocery stores to discount stores.

I was even in a popular restaurant and got my food to go. What did she do but lick her fingers to open my bag. I stopped her and said, “That’s OK, no bag needed.”

Everyone who runs a register should have the finger stuff — I don’t know the name of it — and hand sanitizer because they also cough in their hands and continue right on ringing up your stuff.

People, please watch these cashiers and see what they are putting on your food, clothes and other products you buy. We all need to band together and stop this.

Spit is spit, no matter how they use it. They might as well spit on your items. What’s the difference?

Some even have hand sanitizer at the register. They could use that to wet their fingers.

I wish they could see what they’re putting in their mouths. Yuck.

Recently, I was in a lingerie store and she licked her fingers to get the tissue to put in my bag.

Help.
