PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Some people menstruate.
Some of those people have to venture out in public during this time (which can often feel like there is a goddamn Velociraptor in your goddamn uterus) in order to purchase sanitary items to stem the flow of certain bodily fluids.
There are certain products made for this. They are called cups, pads and tampons. It is best not to use other household products to stem the flow of those aforementioned bodily fluids. For example, it is not recommended to use Viva paper towels.
These are all lessons learned recently by a young male Coles staff member, when he suggested it to a young Aussie woman called Lauren, who wasn’t having a great time with the current place she was at in her menstrual cycle. Lauren decided to let Coles know about her experience on Facebook, which 100,000+ other menstruating people have resonated with, so far.
Hi Coles. Just wondering whether your male checkout staff receive training on appropriate conversation and facial…

He also learned that if you do suggest that a menstruating person use an absorbent paper towel product for their menses, they will probably aggressively threaten to shove a roll of paper towel up your fucken arse.
Poor kid. But also, a good lesson for parents: teach your sons to chill out on the cheeky comments when dealing with stressed people who have “blood mercilessly flowing from their nether regions”.
