She could have dropped the coins in the person's hand without touching the hand you know.

My local Rite Aid used to have a cashier who wore those latex gloves to serve the customers. Kinda sorta creepy but I understood; guess she was a person who got sick easily.

very true. So why take on even more risk by toughing the cashier's hand?

Are you the kind of person who always vindictively fills out customer service surveys over something so trivial?

I dont think that is trivial. What is trivial is you worrying about germs so much.

There are rude people everywhere, I must be lucky because most of my interactions with people are pleasant. The few that aren't I usually get a chuckle out of anyway. Life is way too short to get worked up over one minute conversation in a pizza place.

Rite Aid has one of those service surveys on the receipt so I went online and gave her zeros across the board and in the comments wrote that if she worked for me she would be fired on the spot for doing that to a customer. For whatever reason she did not work at the store long.

I dislike it when they give you your change by putting the bills in your hand, rolling up the receipt and putting that on top and then putting the coins on top of that. Seriously? Why not put the coins FIRST and then hand the person the bills and the receipt??

same here. Perhaps a look in the mirror is warranted for some of our resident complainers?

maybe you enjoy viruses and such, or perhaps you're so slovenly that other people's bad hygiene wouldn't affect you much?

That is what I was thinking.

Now, I will admit that just about no cashiers know how to count out change any more, you are lucky to get "and 7.31 is your change" but I don't stress over it. A woman actually did it correctly a few weeks ago and I complimented her on it.
