That is nasty! I used to work in a dry cleaners in the middle of summer in Georgia...it was hot hot hot...this pretty large lady used to come in and to pick up her clothes and she would take the money out of her bra and it was all wet with her sweat. I would NEVER take the money from her. I would just tell her to put it on the counter...I didn't care if she felt offended or not..it was gross. I would pick up the money with a stapler. YUCK

What about a "punch card" type promotion.  I would love if my dry cleaner gave me a punch card, then every time I dropped off an item, the card was punched and when it is filled (example - 10 items,) you get a coupon for one free "sweater, shirt, pants, dress, whatever YOU choose) to be cleaned.  Give them the coupon with strict guidelines on it for what it can be used for (so they don't bring in a mink coat, etc.) or the coupon could be for $10.00 of your next dry cleaning bill.

Wow it's amazing that there are still people so simple. \n\nI think "leaperpup" really said it best. If she won't respond to diplomacy that's I'd embarrass the heck out of her, and spray Lysol, and other anti bacterial sprays around, and encourage others too also. \n\nGetting up and walking away is definitely an option, so is waving your hand around and turning on a fan. \n\nIn the end I think I just might ask her, "are you so annoyed about being sick that you insist on spreading your contagious germs?" \n\nAlso check on company policies, if you work for a large place she is definitely violating something. In the end your best bet will probably be to ask for another place to sit, perhaps even an "upgrade" showing her that in the end, the mature always come out ahead.\n\nI wish you the best with this!

I always wash my hands, its disgusting if you don't.  I see guys come out of the stalls and not wash up.  Its very uncouth.  In fact if I am in a public restroom, I save the paper towel to use when opening the door so I don't have to touch the doorknob that some slob touched after doing his business and not washing his hands.  I'm not some kind of germophobe, but I don't want some other guys toilet germs on my hand.

It's not allowed... only employees are allowed in the food prep areas.  It's a violation of many health codes too.

I have been a cashier in a supermarket, a clothing store, and at a coffee shop. By far the most evil of customers tends to be at the supermarkets. \nI will say that people tend to be impatient (especially here in the Northeast), and they do not understand the problems that can occur while making a transaction. However, since cashiering tends to be minimum wage, the quality of employees are hires are worthless, and sometimes they deserve to get yelled at.\nI recently starting working at a coffee shop again, and a customer yelled at one of my co-workers, stating for her to "hurry the fuck up, I'm late for work". Like it was our fault for her being late.

That happend to my husband after opening up something, think it was a tv dinner from Reesers. He was eating, and soon found a piece of a rubber glove in his food. We called the company, they knew nothing about it and said all they would do was send coupons which they did, about $40 worth. I was still kinda ticked about it, for one they were rude. But when I did talk to someone about it, they pretty much told me that something like that is very hard to prove and that alot of people will plant things in the food, trying to get money from the company. Like the Wendy's story with the finger. So I don't think something like that would be an easy case in court, you might be better off just calling the company and complaining, and see what they will do.\n\nI'm sure if someone had lost a finger or been hurt at the company they would have closed all the lines and destroyed everything that day.

WASH YOUR HANDS CONSTANTLY!!! Like when you come back from like the supermarket or someplace like that. Don't touch handles on like bathrooms (wear gloves if nesassary). These are some of the most highly places for getting sicknesses. Supermarket shopping carts are the most germ ridden things ever. Be careful and stay clean.:)

I wish I knew.  I use a wheelchair and I can't tell you how many times I've had to wait for someone to finish doing their business in the handi stall.  To make myself feel better, I'll say something like, "EEEWWWW what the hell died in here?" really, really loud while the person is washing their hands.  Try it next time it happens to you!

Bring it to their attention, but be very polite. Anyone handling your food you don't want to tick off.

I don't, because I personally think it's unsanitary. It's also  been documented to be a breeding ground and repository of germs and bacteria, all of which you can pick up from using shared samples, especially in counters where the salespeople are not too diligent about cleaning the counters and the samples. Then, there are the customers themselves, who cough, sneeze, don't wash hands after using the bathroom,... and so on. There are several ways in which makeup samples can get contaminated

People just don't care anymore.  They think they are too good to pick up after themselves - I guess they think that people get paid to do it.  But really, you don't get paid to clean up after people - you get paid to maintain the store.  I can see the difference, but most people don't.  I even feel bad not bringing my clothes back to the rack after trying them on!

One of my buddies used to work in housekeeping at a HOSPITAL.  Now think about that for a while and see if that would be worse than housekeeping at a hotel.\n\nI think housekeeping at a hospital would be worse.

i assume you're on some sort of fresh food counter to need an apron, and if i saw staff handling food with dirty clothing i'd not be impressed!\nat the end of the day you are just an employee, and what your employer is suggesting is not unreasonable. so what's your problem?

Oh man. There's a guy at my office, thank you lord I don't have to go there often, who smells like an old dog. Breath, b.o., the whole thing. Take the curl right out your hair. The bosslady lysols his chair every night, and she bought one of those every 3 minutes air freshener squirt things and it's right beside his desk. She's told him to clean up, she's told him to go home till he gets clean. He still smells bad. And now he's bringing his smelly kid to work every afternoon. Urk.

Gosh... sometimes you just want to poke peoples eyes out with tooth picks huh... I honestly hate most people... \n\nIf you appease the customer they will go away faster.... \n\nGood customer service is listening to everything the customer has to say, telling them you "understand" and honestly do your best to take care of what they want.\n\nSometimes you can't fix it, but tell them you will look into it further so "this sort of things doesn't happen again"\n\nNever leave them with a "no" if you are out of a product or service, offer an alternative.  \n\nTreat them the same way you want to be treated. Sometimes people have crappy days, and you are the straw that broke the camels back. Remain calm and remember, sometimes your day is crappy and you get a short fuse too...
