I was just starting my shift yesterday, first customer is a young woman. I ring up her purchases, among which personal hygiene products. She pays, have a nice day, you too, totally normal interaction. Enters the guy behind her in line. He gestures towards the young lady who’s leaving the store.

Guy: are you not grossed out?

Me: what?

Guy: I said, are you not grossed out?

Me: I’m not sure I understand.

The young lady didn’t do anything wrong that I’m aware of, she was polite, our conversation was pretty unremarkable.

Guy: those things. The women’s things.

Me: huhhh you mean… the sanitary pads?

Guy: yeah

Me: what about them?

Guy: they’re gross. I could never touch that.

Me: well Sir as a cashier I’m supposed to scan every item and those were new, clean packs, I don’t know what…

Guy: come on. That was disrespectful, she should have chosen a female cashier. Men shouldn’t have to touch that.

Me: oh don’t worry I’m fine with it.

I scan his purchases and he has a mega pack of TP rolls. I smile at the irony but he doesn’t seem to get it. People, I swear.
