Walmart customer gargles with Listerine

[ Edited ]

and then spits it back in bottle.

What is wrong with people? Do they need attention?

Re: Walmart customer gargles with Listerine

My mother worked in the grocery store business for 30+ years.  It went on then it's just now that I believe you're correct, people want attention.  If one person can get away with licking ice cream, why not gargle.  With the 24/7 news cycle and peoples need for attention, it's out of control.  And the people who work at WM or any other store should be monitoring the stock on the shelves and noticing if the tops are off (the ice cream) or if product is missing from the bottles. The WM I go to (or try to avoid), always looks like a hurricane went through.

IMO that's why all products should have a safety/security seal, sure it may cost the consumer more, but I would gladly pay it, to avoid sickos such as this.

 

All for the sake of social media posts/followship numbers......SMDH.

No one saw them peeling the plastic safety sleeve off the cap?

 

It's not like some ice cream containers that have no plastic strip around the lids.  Mouthwash is safety sealed.

 

WTH.

I will assume that the police are investigating this and hopefully there will be a prosecutuion once the idiot is identified.

And if the police had been called and he was apprehended and made to drink at least half the bottle he would have been ready to file a law suit against the store and the city !  What a idiot !

As to the one who licked the ice cream and put it back on the shelf, it turns out that she was a minor and there was very limited 'prosecution' and her identity could not be revealed.

 

Still SMDH.....

It seems to me, in the vast nature of things, thousands/millions of years ago, that some humans are evolving backwards.

 

'Way backwards', reminiscent to animals.

 

Something a dog/animal would do.........lick ice cream, etc., etc.

 

It would be interesting research to delve into why humans are evolving backwards.............Very interesting.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

🤢 These people are sick to even crave such attention! 

 

I know I'm double-checking all of my purchases now. Hope soon that these nasty hoaxsters are in prison where they belong. It's become a copy-cat craze now. 

 

The ice cream licker said she had had the flu. Part of the objective is to deliberatly pass on germs. Some could be deadly to others. Let justice match the premeditated crimes, I say.

IMHO, people like this don't need attention, they need therapy and meds.

 

What normal, rational human being could possibly think that this is okay???
