No thanks, Karen

Today, I was cashiering at Walmart, when a customer picked open a cold-sore on her lip before trying to give me her money with the same hand. When I freaked out and refused to take her money, she started screaming and threatening to sue me for "violating the First Amendment." FML

Today, a customer yelled at me so furiously that she sprayed my face with spittle. I had to stand there, smiling and politely explaining that I needed to see a receipt before I could give her a refund. When she finally gave up and left, my boss bitched me out for "provoking the customer". FML

Today, I was waiting in line while a lady paid for her shopping, when her credit card got declined. She started ranting and insulting everyone and kept insisting: "I'm not poor!" By the time the lady had finally stormed off, I had spittle on my face, and the cashier was almost in tears. FML

Today, working at a fast food restaurant, I saw a woman in her late thirties pull out some hair and put it in her food, then threaten to sue me and the restaurant. She also told me no one would believe me, a teenager, when I told her I saw her put it there. FML

Today, at work, I was screamed at and slapped by a woman for supposedly violating her 2nd Amendment rights. In reality, I'd simply turned her away from the 10 items or less line because she had well over the allowed number of items. I've no fucking idea what's wrong with some people. FML

Today, being near-broke, I resorted to shopping at Walmart. Barely ten minutes in, an obese sack of lard posing as a human being shoved me away from the bacon I was looking at. I fell, busted my lip, then got screamed at by another woman for not watching where I was going. FML

Today, I assisted my first customer at my first job as a Target cashier. When I rang up this lady's items and gave her the total, not only did she hiss at me and spit in my face, but she also dragged my manager over and demanded that he fire me. He did. FML

Today, I got bitched out by some lady in a Walmart because I looked at her funny while she was on the phone, loudly bragging about "slapping the shit out of" her kids. FML

Today, I held the door open for a woman and her kids on my way out of the bank. She started accusing me of patronizing her, and when I just let go of the door in protest, she deliberately leaned in so it hit her in the face. I felt the glares from the entire bank as she pretended to cry. FML

There's nothing in the first amendment about not accepting herpes-infected money.

I don't understand. Half of the money we all touch has been in a strippers ass, or stuffed in someone's bra. In my opinion I would take someone picking a cold sore, then touching money, over stripper "infected"(or whatever you want to call it) money. So I don't know what everyone is complaining about.

I'm lets see...maybe because hands that touch a cold sore right before they touch money that they then hand to you has a high chance of having fresh blood.

Money on it has disease in general. Herpes blood is probably the safest thing on the money. It can have parasites from the strippers ass, (or herpes) coke, diseases, so on and so forth... and it's probably had other diseased cold sore hands on it before too. I don't like touching money, period. I ALWAYS keep hand sanitizer on hand at registers. My question to OP is how else they expected the customer to pay for it? Not everyone has extra cash or a credit card, and usually people dumb enough to pick cold sores and hand them to people on their money aren't credit-worthy.

Fresh blood or pus is far more likely to transmit disease than dry money. Using hand sanitizer is a good idea when handling money, but it doesn't remove the idea that you just had someone's sore oozings on you.

First of all, it's because OP saw it with her own eyes. That's what makes it so gross and unhygienic. Second of all, cold sores are contagious. If you touch something with the virus and accidentally touch your face or something you can get it.

LMAO. What are you so sore about? Do you think if you touched her money you would have have gotten a cold sore? Do your job!

Are you ******* demented? Would you touch money covered in fresh blood and pus at the risk of getting seriously sick? That's not in any job description. I hope for everyone's sake you're not in any management position.

no that this MERITS a reply...yes. it is entirely possible for them to have contracted a cold sore from touching that money, as the virus that CAUSES the cold sore is contagious and spread generally through skin-to-skin contact.
