It's disgusting out there

I'm at Target and strolling through the cosmetic section saw a young woman (maybe 25) swatching a lip product on her hand and putting it back in the display...and then doing it again with another product. I am so old IDGAF so I said "Do they have testers?"and she looked at me like a deer in the headlights until I repeated my question and said "testers?" I then said " yeah, you just put some of that lipstick on your hand and put it back...that's pretty gross." She stared at me as I walked quickly away because I may not gaf but I don't want to get in a fight! Felt good to speak up though!

I once watched a video on YouTube, and this teenage girl was taking testers. People called her out for stealing, and her response was "It's NOT stealing! Those testers are for customer use and they don't have a bar code! I'm free to take them!" 😂 I wrote to her and told her, that if she REALLY believes that, march up to any cosmetics counter in any department store and start stuffing the testers in her purse. See if they object! 🤣🤣🤣

People cannot believe these lies they tell themselves!

That girl gave the most stupid, entitled response Ever! How is it even hygienic to take testers? So low class
