I simply matched customer energy. If you were nice and polite I’m nice and polite. If you threw your money at me I’m hucking it across the store and you can eat shit.

I don’t want to touch your hands. Especially if you were being a bit of an ass. Simple as that.

It’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.

Nine times out of ten the customer is busy their items or dealing with their kid. Instead of awkwardly waiting, hand outstretched, I put the change on the counter. I then start prepping for the next customer as we’re timed on the whole process.

One of the things I thought was neat when I visited Japan was that some places would give you change back in a dedicated little tray with rubber “fingers” that made the coins easier to pick up, so you didn’t struggle to pick them off a flat counter.

Common enough in eastern Europe too.

Whats worse is when they put it on top of the bills and hand it all back to you at once, like some kind of fucked up magic trick. The shit that I just bought is in my other hand, how in the fuck am I supposed to get this change into my pocket?
Plopp@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Pour the change into your mouth, put the bills neatly in your wallet, then put the coins in the wallet whenever they’ve lost their flavor.

so I was not supposed to swallow the coins??

FYI, the coin smell isn’t actually the metal, but it’s an oil layer made when metals are touched by us

Iron supplement manufacturers hate this one trick…
Mesophar@lemm.ee 5 weeks ago
Either put both the coins and bills in your pocket together and sort it out later, or don’t pick your items up off the counter until you sort out your change.
Because even if they gave your paper bills back separate from the coins, if your other hand is so occupied with the items you purchased, how were you going to get the bills in your wallet anyway?

Because cashiers don’t want to fucking touch the 1000 creepos they are forced to talk to every damn shift

Cash has been so uncommon in my country for a very long time. It’s like an insult to give a friend cash, like, “Here. This is your problem now.”
I think I used to just hold my open wallet in one hand and accept the cash in the other, slide the coins off, slot the notes in, and grab my stuff. I don’t remember it being annoying. Though our notes were polymer so coins slid easy.

Excellent, gotta keep the traceability up so the banks can change their TOS to sell your spending habit data
samus12345@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Doesn’t matter to me whether they put it in my hand or on the counter. Whatever works for them.
Entropywins@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Me stares at you: I said my cash is in my car…

Don’t go to Japan if this bugs you.
finickydesert@lemmy.ml 5 weeks ago
Same reason why you put it on the counter handing out to me
Grass@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
Literally everyone that is somehow bothered by this probably deserves it. It’s so trivial and mundane. Now if the change was handed back wet…
CptEnder@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I always get the bills dropped lightly in my palm with coins dropped in the bills like a little money burrito. Guess I’m a nice person lol. All I know is I feel the weight of the universe on my back whenever I go up to the cashier and wanna do it as fast as possible so I don’t plop the money on the counter because it wastes time.

They don't want to touch you, or to depend on your qualifications in order to fulfill the task
Putting the change on the counter leaves 0 chance that you'll fuck up the process for them, in any way

How would they know if you didn’t scratch your anus before?

“why don’t strangers touch me more?”
no thanks.
Euphorazine@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
From my time on Reddit years ago this question came up.
Some cashier’s said they reciprocate the exchange back to the customer. If the customer puts cash on the counter for them to pick up, they’ll put the change on the counter in return.
There also was probably some new training from covid where you didn’t want to touch people directly, so those training materials probably still exist
PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I remember that explanation too. Additionally, in some cultures putting money directly into the hand of another person is frowned upon for various reasons.

In my grandfather’s culture, frowning upon things is frowned upon
kionite231@lemmy.ca 5 weeks ago
Yup it’s like the other person was begging for money.

This is the right answer. Source: worked as a cashier.
Cashiers are human beings. They are intellectually as able as everybody else. And they know all tricks from customers. So please, have some respect for people doing their jobs.
