I always asked whether they wanted the receipt in the bag or with them (I've been scorned for not doing that in the past -_-), but other than that agree wholeheartedly.

On my first trip to America everywhere I went they insisted on putting the bills in my hand first and then the coins on top. I get the feeling this isn't how it normally goes and I just had odd luck, but it was still me then fumbling there to get the bills in my wallet without dropping the coins (or visa versa), or putting it all down on the counter and picking it up properly and just thinking "why are you doing this? I was a good customer wasn't I? I don't think I deserved that."
They were putting money correctly into your hand.
Coins weigh down the bills so they're not blown out of your hand with a draft like when you're passing by someone. When you're given money in this way you can easily close your fist to open the zipper part of your wallet where the coins go, simply empty your palm full of coins into the compartment and zip it, then put the bills into their slot.
When money is given the other way around I usually can't even close my fist enough to even pull the zipper open to put away the change and I end up ''spilling'' money on the floor.
Change in pocket, bills in wallet, don't worry about the receipt because the good cashier put it in the bag.
Coins weigh down the bills in case of a draft? Where do you live, Chicago?
Yeah, idk what guest is talking about. I can't tell if they're joking or not. :s you literally pinch the paper money with your fingers when it's given second-- you don't stand there, palm open like a git and hope for the best. O.o

When paper money is given first and then a stack of coins I usually can't close my hand around both comfortable and with a seal and without some level of awkwardness to try and get it in my wallet. If I forgot to get my wallet out ahead of time it just exacerbates the situation.

I worked in retail for several years, and have been buying things all my life, and I've never once had someone not awkwardly fumble with money when given the paper money first (by me or other workers). People almost always fumble with it, or drop some of it, or have to put it. Back down
Cashier here; I will literally stand there, holding the change/receipt for the customer, while they screw around i guess, waiting for them to take it. And apparently, I'm the crazy one for waiting on them, and they tell me to just put it on the counter???

Also, no one wants to touch your hand. I don't, the cashier doesn't, we don't know where it's been.
