Thats... really really nasty.
I can't even imagine how bad that would burn or how bad it would.. eugh.. smell.

The grossest thing I've ever seen someone do in a store? eh I haven't seen gross activities, but I've seen gross people.

Dear individuals vying for the "longest fingernails in the world" title,
Stop shopping in public. Just buy online. Nobody but you thinks that shit is cool when your nails are a foot long and have a bunch of curls in them and they smell like you just used them to scrape the crud out of your orifices.

Haha...I just like the picture that goes with this submission...xD

My roommate worked at WalFart and turned down an isle to see a crusty squirting dish soap all over the ground >.< The plan was to "slip and fall" and sue the ever loving crap out of the big Wallie.

Do people not realize there are cameras?

@Humor Me - I'm the same way! I don't mind fragrance in moderation, but these days people just wear way too much! I'm rather sensitive to perfume/cologne too, which makes working retail -really- suck when every other customer is bathed in one or the other. About the only thing I can tolerate to wear myself are the body sprays from bath and body works, for some reason those don't bother me.

@ Humor Me: I wondered why that was your FB status the other day! I can't stand people who smell like they bathe in perfume/cologne either. There was this guy who used to live downstairs from us, and I always knew when he had recently been out of his apartment because of the lingering stench of his cologne. It was horrible.

I have never seen anything truly disgusting, and I hope I never do.

OMG thats so fucking funny! And LOL @Humor Me also! Im picturing your dog sneezing from the stink. My stepson is like that, he will coat his entire body with Axe. I mean, he sprays the shit for, like, 10 seconds, which is is 8 seconds too long!

A lady pucked like three or four times down one of our aisles and continued shopping over the next hour while our small staff gagged while we tried to clean it up. Our store is small and the smell lingered for hours. I made sure to use a room spray to clear the air right in front of the lady who acted like nothing was amiss

I once had a little kid take one whiff of the lobster bisque samples I was handing out and he projectile vomited over the floor. Really gross, he was sitting up in the carriage so it sprayed over an area a good six feet in front of th carriage. I'm pretty glad that he didn't taste it though because after that his mom took him to be tested and it turned out he's really allergic to shellfish. Things could have been a whole lot worse than a puddle of puke.

@Fender ohhh my gosh, I literally gagged when I read your first story. That is disgusting.
Okay, grossest thing... well, a few weeks ago I posted a picture of chewed gum someone left on a rack. It's under "Piggy Shopper Hell" if anyone cares to look. I didn't see who left it but I had to clean it up which is almost grosser. I had a woman who smelled so strongly of cigarette smoke that I almost passed out, and a couple of people with SERIOUS oral hygiene issues. Oh, and once someone took a shit on the floor of our only customer bathroom. >.<

We sell nose and ear hair trimmers and have one on display. I cannot count how many people stick it up their nose or in their ears. I walked by one person who had it up his nose and it made a water gurgling noise. I about threw-up my gummy worms I was eating.

Hahaha, that was epic disgusting and hilarious.

Here's mine:
At closing, I go to the bathroom and what do I see? Some GUY in the WOMENS bathroom peeing with the fucking stall door open. I mean, REALLY?!?!?! If you're gonna be a weirdo and go in the girls bathroom at least close the door! I don't get people...

@Fender

Holy muffins that shit is just WRONG.

Please tell me he spent a looooong time in jail. Or an asylum.

Not retail related, but still makes me laugh everytime I think of it.

Friend of mine at a college party, wasted of course, goes to little boy's room to take care of bidness. No toilet paper, but finds a pack of wet wipes, uses one. Comes back out to us, feeling better, but in a few minutes the look on his face, like he ate a scorpion or something. He grabs his ass and runs out of the party yelling. Yup, the wipes were ajax wipes for cleaning the bathroom. Awesome.

My worst was as a fellow customer. I was in Portland standing in line for a fairly well-known local doughnut place around 1 am. This homeless guy came up and asked if we'd buy him a doughtnut. Now, I'm pretty generous and it's my birthday (and I was drinking) so what the hell, yeah, I'll buy you one. He then proceeds to tell me I HAVE to get him one of the cock-and-ball doughnuts, with the chocolate frosting and the whipped cream in the center that you can suck out. This, of course, is accompanied by a look that I couldn't quite tell if it was "damn baby girl I want you to get in the mood so you'll forget about the doughnut and suck ME" or "damn girl, hurry your ass up and get my doughnut cause I gots to suck me some COCK!" When he had sufficiently creeped out me AND my two friends that we politely asked him to go away and wait and we'd get him a doughnut, he proceeded to start screeching about "uptight white bitches" and how we weren't helping a brotha out and how it was all cause he was black. And we must be tourists because his home people didn't diss him like that, you know what I mean?

My friend turned, looked him dead in the eye and said in her oh-so-sweet way, "No, sir. We're ignoring you because you're stoned and being a jackass. We *were* going to be nice to you until you decided to be crude. Back in Texas where I'm from, people have manners and it's got nothin' to do with the color of their skin. You know what *I* mean?"

We left with out doughnuts and he started hassling the other people in line.
