Anna and I visited our Asda Supermarket in Wheatley, Oxford recently where they were selling beefburgers, hotdogs etc on a barbeque outside the shop entrance. They were raising money for various charities I believe, and plenty of people were lining up for the delicacy, with the smell of onions permeating the air.

Deserve credit for that maybe? Yes I think so, I mean it's nice to see the local supermarket putting something back into the community isn't it?

So what is this thread all about then you ask. Imagine the scene....busy shopfront, barbeque filling the air with wonderful aroma, and I am sat in the car just 12 feet away waiting for Anna to finish her shopping. In the meantime the sales are plentiful, people walking away with a burger, or hotdog and they just can't wait to gobble it all down.

Then I spot it! The male Asda employee proudly sporting the company name on his uniform and serving the food from the barbeque (handling bread rolls to cut them open, along with burgers etc without gloves) decides to investigate the inside of his nostrils with a finger! He has a good old scavenge around, withdraws his finger, looks at the content of his nostrils obviously lodged in his fingernail and promptly puts his finger in his mouth, where he really does make a meal of whatever he removed by twisting and turning the finger until its clean.

He then looked at his obviously clean finger, wiped it down his uniform (because it was wet of course) and picked up the next bread roll to sell on.

I have seen women, as well as men carry out this filthy excavation, not that anybody will admit to it of course, but honestly have you ever heard or seen anything so disgusting? Makes me feel sick just thinking about it. Wonder what we don't see, and also wonder if Asda will continue to support the bogey burger?  

Hence the thread title Yuck, yuck, yuck!

Oh dear god! It reminds me of a time long ago when I had opened the door to walk in to one of my favorite sandwich shops just to be greeted by the by the guy behind the counter (serving the food) with his hand down his pants digging for gold. The door didn't even have a chance to close complete before I turned around and marched right out again. Needless to say, I never went back to that establishment!

LOL @ James.

I had a similar observation once, Diana.  A bunch of us went out to lunch at a restaurant near our office to take a break from an all-day meeting.  The waitress was wearing these low-slung jeans and instead of having some handy place on the front of her person, like an apron with pockets, she tucked her order pad in the back of her jeans.  Talk about Yuk!

Yuk or Yuck Ruth?

But yes the bicycle rack is no place for the order pad. Clearly not what it's cracked up to be that restaurant! lol
