Haven't seen much weird or gross stuff lately but the Goodwill Outlet is surely an exception.  A couple weeks ago I spotted a couple of condoms (unused . . . in wrapper) in a bin.  Felt kind of worried when I saw a pre-teenage girl riffling through the stuff, wondered if I should warn her mother.  Went a couple days ago, cut my finger on a broken plate - my own fault, next time I'm wearing gloves. Seems to be healing OK but I do have antibiotics just in case.  Looked at a box full of glasses, turned one over to check the bottom but it still had liquid in it - could not identify what kind, hope it was just rain water.  Yuck.

Based on this and just my general icky feelings, I am putting a bottle of hand sanitizer in my booth at the Flea 'n' Tique.  Might make some customers happy.

I ALWAYS have hand sanitizer in my car.  You don't know who's grubby paws manhandled the stuff before you did, and some of the shoppers I see in the thrifts could use some sanitizing themselves.
