Supermarket worker pleads with customers to 'give up' common 'disgusting habit'

A touching story once again went viral on social networks, attracting the attention of thousands of people around the world. This is the story of a supermarket employee in the UK, who decided to anonymously share her indignation over a disgusting habit she saw every day at work.

The woman revealed that she was tired of watching shoppers put money or lottery tickets in their mouths. In the UK, it is possible to play the lottery inside supermarkets, as detailed on The Mirror website. Some customers even licked the bills before handing them in, which led the employee to lose patience with this “disgusting” technique.

She noted that she found the practice incredibly unhealthy, even if it was only for a few moments. In some cases, employees are forced to reject wet notes, which only makes the situation worse.

“I work in a supermarket. Why have some customers returned to this disgusting pre-pandemic habit of holding money and lottery tickets in their mouths? Or even licking them with your own saliva?” the disgruntled employee asked.

Concern for hygiene and the spread of bacteria was also demonstrated by a recent study that found 19 different types of bacteria on a variety of coins and bills.

This story serves as a wake-up call for the importance of hygiene and healthcare, especially in times of a pandemic. The supermarket employee report highlights the need to rethink certain behaviors and adopt more healthy practices aimed at collective well-being.
