Now I know I don't post here often. Namely because I'm working two jobs and too tired at the end of the day to rehash all the crap I've gone through. Sometimes however I just need to share. My second job is great but the grocery store I cashier at makes me want to pull my hair out some times.
The other day an elderly woman came through my line when working express. It was BUSY. Lines down the aisles and everything. She was one of those people who pulls their cart still full right up to where I stand and puts one or two items on the belt at a time. She had all these packs of marked down meat. (they get marked down because it's close to it's sell by date) She starts going on and on about how she bought marked down meat before and it was bad. I take a look at the packages and it looks fine. I tell her this but that's not enough. She starts tearing small holes in the shrink wrap and pushing to towards me asking me to smell it.
I was at a loss. She then started asking other customers in line. Finally she decides to buy it all and hold onto her receipt. She had sucessfully turned it around on the belt enough that I accidentally touched raw pork. I was was disgusted. I quickly bagged her groceries. The next people in line were understanding when I told them I had to run and find hand wipes.

People are way too gross sometimes. Glad the next people in line understood.
