Because people are tone deaf apparently. It shocks me how many people seem just fine with touching my hand. I have so many people go to grab their coffee while my hand is still on it... like dude... back off it’s a rude move even before the pandemic and now it’s just ignorant. Or the people who grab the debit machine away from you in DT. I hold it the way I do for a reason... to minimize contact for everyone... take your damn hands off of it.

At the Noah’s bagels I go to they have a little basket for payment specifically so their hands don’t have to touch. Maybe suggest it to your SM?

i understand why you wouldn’t want to touch people’s hands but you’re touching their money anyway, i feel like hand washing & sanitizing profusely would kinda negate having to do this but custies get offended over literally everything regardless. do what u gotta do to feel safe!

I can't believe they told u that was rude! I usually hold the bills right on the end so they're forced to grab the other end or the middle, without touching my hand. For change, I hold my hand about an inch or an inch and a half above theirs and drop it in their hand. When/if they move their hand up, I quickly move mine up higher.
