You can hand me the money,I don't have that many germs

[candyshopgirl]

What the hell is the problem.I know this has been asked many times.But why do people wad up their money,throw it at you,put it far away from you,or will drop in right in front of your hand. I had one lady literally bring her arm back and throw her damn dollar at me.My mouth to brain filter wasn't working and I autually said what the hell is wrong with you lady.She just stood there.Another time a jackass came in and threw his change down so hard it just bounced everywhere.And then he just stood there with a smirk that made me want to smack the shit out of him. I've learned that if they throw money and it lands on their side of the counter I make them pick it up.Fuck them

OKay, sometimes I can be germ phobic (especially when I can tell my immune system is a bit weak..) buuut.. you can give a cashier money without actual physical contact without throwing money and even without putting it on the counter - the trick is to make the paper money make all of the skin contact. It's not that hard and is still polite.

That change guy sounds like he just wanted to feel superior. His dick is just so small that he has to dominate a shoppie to feel like a man. He should try exercise instead.

I had one guy thwow bills and change at me. It was the exact amount, like $5.97. I recovered a quarter and a nickel, plus the five. I just stood their waiting for him to give me the correct amount. If I had counted it and dropped it that is one thing, but he gave it a underhand toss. He eventually gave em a dollar bill and stomped off.

YES. People do this all the time. And most of them are too damn lazy to bag their own groceries (I mean if they're old or in a wheelchair it's acceptable, but some people are just lazy and if you don't have a bagger come on) so you're bagging it then they want to give you cash and after I can see them in the corner of my eye kinda waving their hand around they just kinda throw the money on the register. Or they just do that anyway. Or they dump a whole bunch of change and expect me to pick out the right amount.

I get the same thing, but with library cards. I'm holding out my hand for it, and they either lay it on the Circ desk or flip/toss it at me like it's rubbish. If it's late in the day, and I'd already had enough, I flip/toss it back to them.

What's worse, is that there are some people who carry their cards in their mouths ... yes, like a dog with a newspaper, cause their arms are full of books! And then I have to touch it!!! Bleahhhhhhh I gingerly pick it up by the corners, and give it back ASAP before squirting my hands with GermX. I'm sure I must have that cat ass look on my face when they do that, but ... just ew.

I have people who will throw money at me but then expect me to put the change into their hands, arseholes. I had one lady who pulled her jumper sleeve over her hand and made me put the money into her hand that way, all the while giving me the look as if I was infected or something.

I used to hate people who'd just flop their credit cards on the counter, or throw them....

I also hated people who just strolled in and tried to shove money in my hand....it's like "Hello...what do you want? Cigarettes? Did you purchase gas? What is this for?!"

[Teysa]

In your case, Blas, I would have been tempted to smile and thank them for their donation to my vacation fund. I mean it's obviously a gift if they don't tell you what it's for, right?

[blas]

I'll add that to my ever-growing lists of woulda coulda shouldas....lol!

Most likely the actual cash has far more germs on it than anyone you would give it too.

Too true. Which makes the SC's little game of "don't touch the peon!" even more pointless. Makes you overjoyed for humanity, doesn't it?

The mention of the change going everywhere -- and the jackass' smirk as he did it -- brings to mind a similar situation for me.

No money was exchanged in this instance, but the attitude was the same.

I was working FDLP at the store, checking receipts on the way out. I expect the occasional crumpled receipt of someone who tried to throw it away, only to realize they need the receipt to leave the store. Or the wadded-into-a-ball receipts because the customer's kid decided to play with it.

This guy walks up with a full cart, and hands me a handful of confetti'd receipt. He then says "Good luck," and tries to keep walking.

That's when I step in front of his cart, ignoring the pain when it rams into my foot and stomach, look him in the eye, and tell him, "You're gonna stay right here until I put this thing back together."

And I did put it back together enough for me to read what I needed to check, and nodded. He starts to go, but I stop him, toss his confetti into his cart, and bid him good day.

The most common thing I see is that most of those people will put the money on the counter while I'm waiting there with my hand out. Funny how they expect it to be put in their hand when I give them change... I will never, EVER put money in their hands if they do not have enough courtesy to do the same to me. The most important thing to do, if you're doing this any way, is to make absolutely sure you keep smiling.

I take it you work at some sort of membership-required store.

Man, I even do my best to straighten out cash that has gotten all scrunched in my pocket before I hand it to the cashier. I have seen people throw their wadded cash at the cashier and stand there impatient as crud waiting for the cashier to unravel thier mess. rude!

I think everyone should be required to work in retail, food service, and hotel service in order to be more sympathetic towards eachother
