SPITTOON

Here's a random thought.. well l not so random for me, but actually disgusting, SPITTOONS. Oh my goodness that is probably the worst thing ever. I can handle blood, puke (with my fare share of gaging), shit (also gaging), but saliva Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I just want to hurl whenever i see it. So for me cleaning out a spittoon is the worst part of my day. If people empty their glasses into it, that's fine, but if they spit!!! Those little pieces of cracker floating in there and those darker stringy bits of spits, made darker by the tannins stuck to it. Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!! Probably shouldn't work in a tasting room if this grosses you out, but what else is there. The sacrifices we make just to be near wine.
You know they say that if you smile, it works against the gaging reflex. So you'll see me cleaning a spittoon, but smiling while doing it. Yeah, I must look like the happiest person in the world.
Nothing more to do than sucking it up and smiling. !!! hahahaha
