So, I just went to the ice cream place in my local shopping center, and order their biggest size (48 oz?), vanilla with almonds mixed in. The girl who starts the order, gets called away by the boss, so she turns to a girl who's just come from the register area to "take over." Ok. So, the take over girl reaches up and adjusts her mask and visor brim with her bare hands. I assume she's gonna wash her hands, but she doesn't. So then she's working on the ice cream with the scoop/mixer tools, so I think, "ok, she's not actually gonna touch the ice cream, so it's probably ok." Well, then when she's putting the lid on it she literally used her thumb to smoosh some down into the container where the lid will fit on. Her thumb! The same one she was adjusting her mask and visor brim with! I'm thinking, "ok, I can just scoop that part away and clean the container." And I did all that when I got home, but all the way home I'm fretting about it. And when I tried to scoop that area out, it's half melted and runny, so there's no way to get that exact spot.
Obviously, I'm still fretting about it. And mad at myself.
I can't give this to my kids! $15 f'ing dollars worth of ice cream.
The face, hat brim and thumb stuff isn't even sanitary BEFORE Covid-19 issues arise. She'd just come from the register area, so probably handling money, or who knows what, and not only not concerned with washing her hands, but then literally sticking her thumb right in!
Normally I'd have spoken up, and don't know why I didn't this time. I think I'm just so stressed and frazzled with Covid-19 and everything being vitriolic and weaponized. I was just sort of paralyzed and making excuses of how I could remedy it myself rather than speaking up in defense of myself (and my kids) over the horrible hygiene in this shop, and "making a scene."
In the meantime, I've gotten all worked up. I told my girls I'd bring home [the ice cream**], so I guess I'm gonna drive to the one in the next suburb over and get more. So it'll now be $30 for 48 oz of ice cream...
Am I crazy?
P.S. **Edited to remove the brand name. I had tried to be vague, but accidentally included it near the end.
