Doing Some Tissue Damage

I’m the careless customer here. Local stores are under heavy health restrictions. When I enter the store, I grab a sanitizing wipe to use for opening fridge/freezer doors. At some point, I must have dropped it into the cart unseen because as I’m going through the checkout I hear a shriek from the cashier, pointing at my lost wipe.

Cashier: “Is that a tissue?!”

Me: “I’m sorry, ma’am, I’ll get that right away.”

I picked up the wipe and deposited it in the nearest trash bin. The cashier spent the rest of the transaction glaring daggers at me and I slunk away as fast as I can.
