We have a bunch of immune compromised elderly, and most people seem to subscribe to the "gonna get it anyway" mindset and feel free to shop at the grocery stores, coughing, and picking up stuff that they don't purchase. Here's a clue: Please for the love of [insert deity of choice] make sure you want to purchase an item before you touch it. Not too hard, is it skippy? Don't pick up a loaf of bread, cough on it and put it back. It's bad enough that the checker has to pick up the stuff you've coughed on.
There was a similar narrative here regarding a work type scenario that I was hearing a lot about. It involved an employee that was obviously ill with something, but refused to take time off, and ended up making everyone else ill. She had that mindset of: "Well, you're going to get it anyway.".
I think maybe I might've caught whatever they had too, but it didn't really effect me that much.
Both me and the husband of another worker were calling her a sociopath.
