Is it me being a bit hypersensitive, or is this gross?

[Obelix]

I don't know that it was gross per se, but it was certainly unhygienic and b****y rude of her.

 

I cant see why you shouldn't be somewhat annoyed about that.

Exactly...I did fancy a slice of one of the cakes, but after that, I immediately went off the idea.

It's: "How dare you fart before my wife!"

I know it is. But I'm from Sheffield!

Like many situations in life it is often how they are brought (dragged) up.

 

I go to the supermarket (everylittlehelps) in Rotherham for them bloomer loafs. I’ve been advised that if there are none sliced up and no staff on the bakery section, just ask a member of staff . So a member of staff stops packing the shelf or whatever they have been handling. They come over, and start handling the bread without washing their hands. I said to one guy last week, I’ll wait while you’ve washed your hands”. He said , “I washed them not so long ago”. I pointed to the large pair of filthy gloves he had just removed and expressed my concern, but these people don’t like to be told about what is common sense.

 

Back in the summer I saw one member of staff (same supermarket) stacking bakery products on the bottom shelf. She dropped a load on to the floor where many pairs of shoes walk over numerous time each day. She just picked them up and stacked them with the others as if nothing had happened.

 

A guy who used to work in a bakery saw me eating one of them small apply pies one day. He said, “if you knew what went on in bakeries you would never eat that sort of thing again”.

 

I suppose it is only what we see or hear about that concerns us Pete. If we knew what really went on we would eat nothing.

No it's not just you.

You should've reminded her of that old saying "Coughs and sneezes spread diseases"

If the snot landed on the cakes, customers might've thought 'Ooh! a nice bit of green icing there!"

Get it down you it wont hurt you, keeps your immune system up to scratch. Being 100% hygienic is not good for you and you never know what has happened to the food you buy in the process of it making it's way to the shelf.

 

I once saw a staff member floor some bread cakes while opening a big bag of them at a well known burger chain and they didn't go in the bin

[pattricia]

Hate to see anyone blowing their nose before handling food !

It's: "How dare you fart before my wife!"

 

No, no, no. Signals the punch line too easily.

Still makes me laugh 60 years after first hearing it.

Interestingly I was reading an article on transmission of colds today. It seems like you actually get very little chance of transmission (of rhinovirus at least) from contact with surfaces. It's still pretty gross though.

I was in the Alhambra Centre in Barnsley

 

 

Nah, that's pretty gross.
