A couple of weeks ago, I'm at a Rite-aid, picking up a prescription. I pay at the pharmacy and then go grab a two liter of white soda, because it's 88 cents and I wanted some. I pay for the soda with a ten dollar bill and get my change, all while holding the pharmacy bag. I have some trouble putting the change in my wallet, so I set the bag on the counter while putting the bills away. The cashier says, spying my pharmacy bag, "Are you sick?"

BOGGLE

I boggle. Deciding that I don't want to share the intimate details of my medical history with this person, I say, "No... not yet." And leave as quickly as possible.

That is soooo not cool.

Wow, that's awfully personal. I'm hoping that it was just an awkward way of saying "I hope you feel better..."

Not. Cool. Seriously, I would write or call the store and report the incident. You just don't do that.

You also should have told her that you have an incredibly contagious case of warts or something.

They probably just thought you had a cold or stomach bug because of the white soda. It comes across and creepy, but I think they were just trying to be personable. Sometimes good intentions come across the wrong way.
