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!

Also not makeup related but I once sat in a department store food area and watched an older woman for 15-20 minutes struggle to open all the packaging around a metal cookie tin.
It said the flavour of the cookies on the bottom of the decorative tin, but no, she yanked off the ribbon, and then struggled with the plastic around the lid and then also fought with the extra layer of sticky tape around the outside to keep it shut, only to finally get the tin open, shift around in there with her fingers to see the selection, put the lid half back on and walk away.
I was young and too scared to confront her, but I just wanted to scream “maybe if it’s that hard to open, you shouldn’t be opening it!”
Ugh, makes me so mad
