You're extremely brave :P I am SO paranoid about purchasing, wearing (around others) , looking at (!) or even holding rubber gloves.porpoise wrote:If you want to live really dangerously there are the counters and the coffee shop kitchens in supermarkets too. In the Uk we have many 24 hour supermarkets which are usually really quiet at about 2am during the week and I've managed to sneak behind a couple of deli counters in the past and find some nicely worn yellow marigold gloves there. They are amazing.
Also, sometimes the cafe closes early and they only cover the entrance over with baby high-chairs so if it's far enough away from view you can sneak into the kitchen and take your pick. I've done that a few times too although i did get caught once coming out and said I thought I;d dropped my phone there earlier and come back to look and found it. It was a close shave though. Like you say, when taking the gloves there is something even better about then hiding them down your pants and getting to a toilet to put them on, or indeed putting them on in the location and hiding your hands up your sleeves.
It's like people know what I'm thinking. It's jsut my age, I guess, I'm at the age where I'm not young enough for people to say "ah, he's young, bless him." or old enough (say mid twenties.) to think I'm using them for a good reason!
