Comment on Just why??
scytale@lemm.ee 5 weeks agoIt’s possible to drop change into someone’s hands without physically touching them though. I don’t like physical contact either, and on the rare times I pay with cash, I hand it to the cashier without making physical contact. I remember there was one store I went to that the cashier literally put the change on the counter right beside my outstretched hand and open palm, every time. And it was annoying to pick up change from a stainless steel counter.

It may be possible but that doesn’t mean people respect that. Some people go out of their way to touch you when receiving change back by moving their hand up and closing close to yours before youre done letting go of the change. I remember this shit when I was a cashier. Hated it.
The simpler answer is not to even allow it or get close at all.
I love those auto dispensers for change.
Or cards. Use cards.

Yeah I’ve had a couple of customers outright wrap their hand around mine as I handed them their change. It’s creepy and invasive. If it happened enough times, I’d just start putting everyone’s change on the counter.
