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

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

Yes. I have stated many times that I work for a wholesale club. I hate it but it's a paycheck, it's a source of stability in my otherwise disorganized life, and while it may piss me off, it hasn't driven me to ACTUALLY commit murder or kill myself.

So it's pretty much like any job someone talks about here on CS.com.

I tend to forget such things at 2:30 AM

In that case, yes, but...

...in NJ, if you go to certain Wal-Marts and KMarts, they check your receipt on the way out.

I'd gotten used to it, and am now shocked not to have to hand it over now that I'm back home.

LMAOO... thats horrible.

but i know EXACTLY what you're talking about....

If they can't be bothered to hand me the cash/card I don't hand it back to them. Simple.

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

I am the same way, I face the bills, and order them by amount with the change on top - I worked for a few summers in a pool supply store when I was fairly young and I do it just like I counted out change for someone.

I certainly dont worry about germs, I wash my hands frequently, and throwing money is just plain rude. My parents raised me to be polite to everybody, especially service people. They pointed out to my brother and I that service people make our lives easier by working *for* us instead of us having to cook, and bag and carry stuff. Heck, my mom used to make us strip the bed for our maid on linen day ... and our rooms were always picked up so it was easy for her to clean...

You might worry about germs, if you've ever seen some of the places I've had customers pull money FROM. While working PT at a convenience store, we had a guy come in who had been out running (and was drenched with sweat, since it was 90-odd degrees out - and only 8am!). Got a bottle of water out of the cooler and brought it to the counter, then proceeded to dig out two very wet, very disgusting bills from his shorts. And I don't mean from a pocket, either. I mean he pulled open the waistband and stuck his hand in (up to his WRIST) to retrieve them.

Even one of the customers behind him in line went 'Eeeewwwwwww.....'

I mean, seriously. They make wallets. They make fanny packs and other gadgets to hold things while you go out and sweat yourself up. You can't find someplace better to keep your cash than your CROTCH?

And *I* got wrote up because I wouldn't touch his crotch-sweaty money.
