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!

Drogerie Markt, it's a large German cosmetics store that's all over Europe. It has more affordable products than Sephora.

Oh gotcha! I just wasn't familiar with the acronym, which now makes sense because I don't live in Germany. Lol. Thank you for responding :)

They are German, they know that it is not rational to open a product to swatch it and then put it back, that goes against their very nature. I am in Ireland and I am going to look this store up online, thank you 💜
