    Had the safety button been popped?

    I was in Tesco just before Christmas and there was a customer that picked up a jar of sauce, opened the lid, dunked his finger into the sauce, licked it, screwed the lid back on and popped it on the shelf. He did this a couple of times with the same finger _pale_. Found a member of staff and highlighted the customer's actions, she weren't bothered at all.

    Some people have no consideration. That is probably what happened to the jar in question.

    I often used to see an old drunk in the booze aisle, cracking open a spirit bottle and taking a swig!
