"Excuse me, you left this."

I'm becoming germ-a-phobic.
Since I've been selling to the public in a retail setting, I've been sick more than ever before.

It doesn't take a Rocket Scientist to figure out why:  It's the unclean masses that invade our store every day.

Google this: "bacteria shopping cart".  Read at least 2 of the articles, you'll want to wash your hands.
E. coli, STD, feces, blood, mucus, saliva, urine, bacteria counts in the range of 300,000.  That's enough to make you want to wear latex gloves.

I see little kids come into our department, walk down laptop row, and drag their fingers across every single keyboard.  They're either picking something up or laying something down.

I see adults handling the laptops, grabbing a misbehaving child, spanking it's butt, then back to the laptop.  Why don't you just drag the kid's ass across the keyboard while you're at it, dumbass?

Some big-box stores have a hand sanitizing station available near the entrance.  Betcha that it's probably one of the cleanest areas in terms of bacteria in the store.  That would be because PEOPLE WON'T USE IT!!
They will complain loud and long to anyone who will listen if the bathroom isn't spotless, but will they wash their hands...NO!

Ever visited a bathroom in a big store?  Sure, we all have.  Ever find it in a total mess..toilet paper everywhere, the liquid soap dispenser removed and the soap poured all over the floor, feces on the wall, graffiti on the walls, the toilet clogged with paper towels and overflowing. Think the employees did that?  Highly unlikely.  Anyone who would do something like that is a total waste of protein, likely the result of a leaky condom.

Another pet peeve of mine is those Rednecks who chew on a toothpick and then leave it on a shelf or toss it on the floor.  When I have to pick up something like that, I get a piece of paper and use it to touch the filthy thing.

I loaned my pen to a customer a few weeks ago.  What's the first thing she did?  Put it in her mouth!!
You fucking bitch, that's my lucky pen!  I've been using that pen for over a year and it hasn't run out of ink.
I took the pen back when she was finished, just so she wouldn't get to keep it, then threw it away.

When I own my own store, we're gonna have a MANDATORY, FULL-BODY sanitizing station as soon as you walk in the front door...
FOR THE FUCKING CUSTOMERS!!!
