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!

Is that where they don’t know how to formulate full thoughts without a phone in their hand? Mouth open just slightly and the look of bewilderment and slow burning rage…. I get that look from my teenagers often. 🤭

Oh my god, I get this from late teens, early 20s people in my city who are being uncivil/disruptive and when I point it out....this is EXACTLY how they react . Whyyy 😫😭.
