Ultimate Hygiene.

A relatively sad commentary on today's society if these things need to be articulated. But, apparently, they do.

Sadly true Tony but likely posted in a tough area, inner city locale.  I will use this post as an opportunity to restate the obvious... that it is very important for us all to keep in mind that the vast majority of people are good and respectful.  I am well aware that you know this Tony as you are a very positive, upbeat individual; a "glass half full" personality.

Agreed, but I would argue this is nothing new. While in college, decades ago, I worked in retail.... "the masses are asses!"    I witnessed these...and keep in mind...this was a reasonably affluent classy-area in a super high-volume successful store:

- Grown men would hawk-up-luggies  and spit them out inside the store.

- Farting loudly and wiping boggers on & under shelves was commonplace.

- Washing down everything with urine in the men's restrooms was apparently a sport.

- Sneezing into and/or wiping blood onto store bath towels, then refolding them neatly for display. That was quite a sight.

- I lost track of many times I saw dirty/smelly customers not wearing socks but trying on shoes.

- Small toddlers kissing & licking everything without parental supervision.

- It was common to find bags of dirty diapers & food waste (peels, bones, wrappers ) in shopping carts.

I could go on, but you get the idea......  just two more-that I witnessed:

- 1) A very young mother left her small son (5 or 6 ) in the toy department while she shopped elsewhere.  After 10 minutes I could see the kid was becoming understandably nervous & afraid.  Being the smart ass that I am, I decided to teach this "young mother"  a lesson.  I approached this kid as if he were "lost,"  then called security.  Two officers took the boy to the office. 

About 15 min. later, mom returned.  Without saying a word, I watched her search for her son...she finally approached me and inquired.  I explained that "he said"  he was lost, and I notified security.  She interrupted, "Oh, security has him now...  OK, when they come back, tell them I'll be across the hall, in the women's dresses department."

- 2) ...and my favorite: The home center/remodel/hardware section included toilets on display in mock bathrooms. Usually, open 2 or 3 wall-corner affairs, replicating modern home bathrooms.  Once, a foreign woman who either couldn't read English and/or just got off the boat used one of these open non-functional-bathroom-displays.... and not for taking a pee!

Two excellent posts, Jack and Chris. Thanks, David, for initiating it.
