When a cashier puts your change on the counter instead of into your outstretched hand.

And just after you've attempted to make the transaction civil. The converse is making sure to place the money into the cashiers hand so they don't have to pick it up.

I use to be a cashier and the only time I put the change on the counter instead of the hand was when the customer put the money on the counter first.

In Germany all cashiers have a little tray. Customers put their money on the tray. Cashier takes money from tray. Makes change. Puts change on the tray. Customer takes change. No contact. No hurt feelings.

I put the money on the counter because our counter is super wide. I'm tiny and generally can't reach across to reach the customer. Plus, I don't like touching strangers.

At the chain store where I work we're required to put the change on the counter. It's like a no hand-touching rule. It's in the employee handbook.

I hate when the cashier puts the bills, then the receipt, then the change on your hand, all piled up. Then you have to un-pile it to put it away. Or just stuff it all in your pocket and sort it out later. I especially hate it when they give you the bills, and you're pulling your hand away to try to put the bills in your wallet, and they quickly try to put the coins on the bills, and everything falls down.

I am a cashier and I hate it when people put the change on the counter for me to pick up. I also hate people who hold up the line while they 'try to get rid of this change', or count out extra change so they can get bills back instead of more coins.

It's just as bad when customer's throw their money on the counter, or throw their credit cards at you. Or they hold their card really low so it's at a really awkward angle to grab...drives me insane...

I super hate it when the bartender puts the change in a bar puddle. Maybe they think if I'm too disgusted to touch it I'll leave it as a tip. Guess again, buddy.

Standing behind someone in line who has to find the exact fucking change, taking a long time to dig around for a stupid penny or dime or "maybe I have two nickles." Get your shit together before you go to the store!

And please - whatever happened to the courtesy of counting out my change for me, so I don't have to hold up the line by counting it myself? Because I'm sure as hell going to count it!

So that the cashier doesn't diss me by putting change on the counter - I have my wallet open (widely) and ready for the coins to go in. No one is touched and I'm not left feeling angry and disrespected!
