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, an angry customer rubbed her hand all over my face, all while showing me her positive COVID-19 test results. 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 had a formal complaint filed against me for being outrageously rude to a customer. All I did was tell a customer that she couldn't use food stamps at the movie theater. 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.

Wear gloves OP? I'm sure your employers, Walmart though it may be, would not object to you wanting to protect yourself from Herpes. Just say you've developed an allergy or something if you think they'd be arsey about it.

What does that have to do with the first amendment?

YDI for thinking other money isn't dirty. BTW, Americans should get over their herpes phobia. Most people are infected, only 10% get cold sores and only 1% have more serious problems.

Handling fresh blood/pus is more likely to transmit the disease to you. Common sense.

That doesn't really matter. You only have a 1/500 chance of contracting HIV from sleeping unprotected with an infected person, just because its low risk DOESN'T mean its worth the risk. You can NEVER know if you're one of the unlucky people who is severely affected by the Herpes virus (whether its cold sores, skin sores or worse genital herpes) so its best not to touch other people's fresh bodily fluid when you can see they are visibly ill.

This reminds me of my Biology class where a kid wiped his cold sore germs on another kid. (I'm in high school by the way.) My teacher started screaming from the back of the room, "Connor stop trying to give Stephan herpes!!"

Doesn't matter what amendment. Only our government can violate our constitutional rights. That's what they are for, to protect us from the govt. Idiots.
