Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
I'll never forget my last visit to Magruders. While at the deli counter I asked for 1/2 pound of White American cheese, the man behind the deli counter turned to his right and sneezed without covering his face or any part of it in any way. He then proceeded to slice the cheese I ordered, he still had on the plastic gloves from before the moment of his sneeeze. He finished slicing the cheese from the block and again turned to his right and sneezed, this time bringing his gloved hands up to his mouth to cover the sneeze.
He then wiped his mouth / nose / face with the crook of his right arm. Then picked up the pile of cheese from the slicing machine with the same gloves on the same hands and put it into a bag and attempted to hand it to me after putting the label on it.
I was at a loss for words. I stood there like a deer in headlights. I have no idea how much time elapsed, but I ended up just walking away without having spoken a word.

This sort of stuf never happens in Giants? or even Whole Foods? Let;s start a thread on them and see how many chime in.
