    MASSIVE avocado dump sparks concerns about food waste, Coles and Woolworths respond

    Mum wearing a 'DO NOT TOUCH' sign in supermarket recalls 'traumatising' history behind it

    Yes speak up and say don't do that, unfortunately these things happen so quickly and so unexpectedly that we can be caught unawares. Hopefully the lady will give it second thoughts next time. I know babies are cute but finger in the mouth is not acceptable at all.
