The Cashier's Claws

in claws •  8 years ago 

At the grocery store where I frequently shop, I sometimes encounter female cashiers who have very long fingernails. Their nails may be naturally long like that, but my guess is that they are most likely fake and were professionally attached to them. The problem I have with their nails is that I feel that they could be a health threat to customers because when they are handing people their change and receipts back, they could accidentally scratch or poke their skin and leave them with open sores. This could be extremely hazardous for customers who may be diabetic.

I don't know why the managers at some of these stores allow their employees to have nails that long. I understand that these cashiers may think that those nails are cute, but they probably won't be thinking that if a customer ends up suing them and the whole store if they get poked or scratched by one of them.

I liked this post before I even read it just based on the title. I too have been clawed, usually by a fast food drive-thru worker. I agree that this is a safety hazard to customers. I personally keep my finger nails very short and have no idea how anyone could actually function with 1 inch or longer nails glued to the end of their fingers. It's crazy, and not even attractive!

I agree that it's not even attractive like they seem to think it is. I don't think anyone working in a store where there will be physical contact with the customers should have nails like that.
