Ugh, I saw similar this past weekend. Ate at a local grill then wandered over to the LQS a couple doors down. Noticed a lady that had been eating garlic fries at the table next to me petting fabrics and I'm about 90% sure she hadn't washed her hands. That would drive me so crazy if I worked in a fabric shop!! I keep handi-wipes in my car so if I haven't had a chance to wash up recently I can at least wipe my hands down before going to pet fabrics. I use those things after every thrift shop trip, too. The world is a dirty place!
