For some reason, I've been getting a lot of customers that do this lately, and it drives me frigging INSANE.
Why in the name of whatever deity/tree/idol you worship, can people not grasp the concept of putting their money IN MY HAND!? I stand there, I tell them their total, I hold out my hand to accept their money, and they completely ignore it, to then throw their money in a pile on my counter. I mean, it would be different if I were making no effort to collect their money from them, but COME ON. I'll hold out my hand the whole time they're counting and throwing money in a messy pile, and they just look at my hand like they don't give a shit.
I've gotten to the point where I either continue to stand there with my hand out until they pick the money up and put it there, or if I pick the money up, I do the same thing with their change that they did with their money. It's amazing how long it takes some people to catch on to this concept. There's one guy who has been tossing money for MONTHS who has YET to catch on. I hold my hand out til he puts money in it, and I'll do that a few times and think "Oh, maybe he's got it now" but just as soon as I think that he'll come in and toss his money willy-nilly on the counter.
Ye gods, sometimes I hate humanity.
