Cashiers not putting change in your hands

NotMe

Yeah I don't really mind if they put it on the counter while I'm busy packing stuff in bags or whatever. But when I have my hand out and they put it down beside my hand it's kind of taking the piss.

i ALWAYS hand it to them, it's just quicker than people fumbling around trying to get it off the counter

I dont really like when people do it, but i can fully understant. I used to work in a video store and we had this guy who sweat a crazy amount (we called him Sweatpalm) used to hand in the most moist/damp money you could imagine. It was pretty nasty. It would even leave sweat marks on the counter. Good old Sweatpalm.

The rule goes as follows:

The cashier puts the change into the customer's hand, unless the customer:

1. is obviously dirty
2. puts the money on the counter themselves first, or
3. is too slow to pick up the change due to being on the phone or generally holding up the queue due to doddering

And here's some tips for all those complaining about cashiers

When a bill comes to €x.15, don't wait for the cashier to have counted out the change before exclaiming triumphantly 'I have the 15 cent, just to make it handier for ya like', holding three 5c coins aloft like you've made a scientific breakthrough.

If you're a slow ****er, and not elderly or disabled, don't be surprised when the cashier starts to serve the person behind you, especially if there's a line. Why should he (and the rest of the customers) have to wait for your slow ass to get your stuff together?

Don't place your stuff on the counter and go for a little wander around the shop for other stuff finally deciding you're ready to check out. This is a sure fire way to piss the cashier off as well as whatever unfortunate people are waiting behind you. Do your shopping before you get the the damn counter.

Acknowledging that the person behind the counter is a human being rather than a talking cash register does wonders regarding the level of service you receive.

When you are in a shop, you are normally there to purchase goods. These goods will require a means of payment. So when the cashier tells you the total, don't spend the next minute fumbling around for your Laser card or rifling through the four-year old receipts in your purse or wallet as if being asked to pay came as some sort of surprise to you.

No, I will not paw through a sweaty handful of fluff and change you pull out of your jeans pocket. You know how much a pack of fags cost, have the cash ready. This also goes out to the delightful lady who pulled a sweaty coin sock out of her bra and proceeded to tell me to 'take the fiver out of that love'

Also, don't try to bull**** the cashier with 'Joe Duffy / I know my rights / I'll speak to your manager' BS. No I don't have to take this opened product with no receipt as a return, and guess what, the law doesn't say so either. Whatever BS excuse you have, I've heard it before, and I didn't give anymore of a fcuk then than I do now. Any decent retail place will give its staff a briefing on consumer law, so unless you're a lawyer keep your fool mouth shout.

And come back again soon

May i also add...
If you're in a supermarket and you decide not to buy something chilled or frozen...leave it back in a fridge/freezer and not anwhere you fancy. Those things are thrown out 90% of the time. And its always bloody women! :-P
