Vitamin “Ewww”
Bizarre, Health & Body, Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, Retail, Revolting, USA | Healthy | June 27, 2019
(I am working in the beauty and health section when a woman comes up asking for vitamin E oil. I take her over there before I begin my safety speech.)
Me: “Just so you know, despite this being in the vitamin section and a liquid, you do not ingest it. This is for topical use only.”
Customer: “I know, dear. I need it for my hand. Look.”
(She proceeds to show me her hand where, not only can I see bone exposed, but her thumb is literally hanging almost detached from the hand.)
Me: “I’m not sure if this will work on that. Have you seen a dermatologist yet?”
Customer: “No, not yet, but I need something to help heal my skin up, and I heard this should help. Thank you.”
(I’m not sure how she was not more alarmed by the state of her hand but I made sure to wash my hands after, just in case it was some sort of virus.)
