Maybe you could take a small bottle of sanitizer, and kleenex and take the kid aside, and tell him what he did, and let him know that's not cool, but that you wanted to chat with him directly.

She looked at me and said, "I'm only wearing one because I'm sick.". I wasn't sure what to say at that point.<br /><br />Our favorite nose-picking line from a movie is "Pick me a winner" from Little Nicky. It became our go-to thing to say whenever we saw anyone picking their nose.

"YUCK!" "WHAT THE ...." "DON'T TOUCH MY STUFF!!!!!!" It wasn't until those voices quieted down that I was able to hear the quiet little sensible voice. The best way to handle it though, is to use John's approach. A quiet little aside to the store manager set within the framework of 'what a good worker he seems to be...' is the way to handle it. I will write it, instead of going there, since I have a relative who works there and I would not want any blowback for her.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-75305176108051034002022-11-04T12:51:46.782-04:002022-11-04T12:51:46.782-04:00Oh my word.

I'm not sure if there's a 'deliquiate' way of addressing this with him (aside) or his boss? I'm sure his employer wouldn't want customers seeing this. If addressing this with his boss, put in some good words for him, too. The kid just needs to be made aware of this from some source.
