I think there is a medicine that can help your condition. Please go see a doctor.

OP: if you're serious and not a troll then you need help. If something like that is going to get your Alan's in a twist then you're heading for an aneurism.

I remember my AD took my watch off the tray (I was trying another on) and put it in their display case lol. That was probably one of the funniest things I experienced in the store.

Guess my sticker game is tight.

This totally depends on the type of manicure she had. We will require pics of her hands before we can assess the risk she posed to the Bluesy

Hmmm, after the first three responses, I just scanned looking to see if OP came back to say something. Nope. I haven't been around that long but I think I can see where this is going. Surprising this isn't OP's first or second post...

Holy smokes you might as well wrap it with plastic. Did you get mad because she touched it but didn't kiss it?

Why do people have to complain for everything? We have lost the sense of just being human... I work in Hotels and yes sometimes complains are valid reasons, but sometimes they are plain ridiculous..., did you get a another free coke?

Hahaha. And, if you could feel the bluesy during your prostate exam.....then, um, that wasn't a prostate exam.

I had a 15400 in my hands again when suddenly the SA made a reference to my Rolex bluesy I was wearing and then proceeded to touch it with her finger (with no gloves, her other hand had a glove) - she touched the polished gold part as well. I was going to explode at that point - for no reason did she have to touch my watch as well as on the polished part and with no glove on that hand. What do you guys think? I was going to complain but I just carried on looking at other brands for a while. I think on another day I would have gone straight to the manager and complain and have done before with other issues. Do you think this is pretty bad etiquette on her behalf?

I'm pretty new around here but glad to see from the comments that the OP is the outlier among this community. You must be miserable all the time.
