I have to admit I do that, I don't like touching strangers who have been handling money (which is filthy) all day, I don't even like handling my own money.
I used to work as a cashier, and people who would put money on the belt were the worst. It's a great way to lose your money, and it's actually just rude.
I'm a cashier and I hate it when I hold my hand out and the customer puts the money on the counter. The worst is when they throw it down on the counter, makes my blood boil.
Well I don't put it on the belt that is just dumb. And I put it right next to their hand, I get sick very easily ad I can't afford to miss classes. Honestly if picking money up off of a counter (unless they threw it that is rude) affects you so much then you have issues.
Its not that bad. It is however like if you ask someone to hand you something then they drop it right in front of you on purpose, its just mildly annoying. Besides I guarantee that the money you are holding (which has passed through countless other hands) has more germs on it than the cashiers hand especially in places like mine that supply sanitizer and is regularly used. Unless you hold the cashiers hand while you give them the money there is no reason you can't hand it to them without touching their hand.
It's rude when a cashier sits the customers change on the belt instead of handing it to the customer, Period.
Did the customer lay the money on the counter to pay for their purchase? (NO)
So why would the cashier think it's okay to lay change on the counter?
