I thought that it was rude of the new guy to do that and I didn't say nothing, and now I caught his cold sickness, I'm taking EmergenC.
He was two hours late and was supposed to come in at 10'oclock and help me unload the grocery truck for night crew, so that is what he was doing when he sneezed on me, and I was pissed, but held back on saying something.
I had a customer come through my lane last week that kept coughing without covering his mouth. Then he had to lick his fingers each time he peeled off another dollar from his wad of money.
I would have said something to your co worker. New guy or not. And if they get all pissy because you say something to phucking bad. Covering ones mouth whilst sneezing and or coughing is common courtesy. So easy even a pre-schooler can do it.
