he gave me money that had been in his MOUTH

[GingerBiscuit]

A 'gentleman' came up to my till today to buy some cod liver oil and something else, he had a note in his hand and I thought he'd pay with that- as he got closer I saw it was only a £5, so not enough. No, he'd been holding a £10 between his TEETH, folded up, and paid me with a damp, slobbered on £note. I think I managed to keep the look of utter disgust off my face, as I tried to unfold it with as little skin touching the note as possible.

He was also very rude to me in general, but really. Yeah, I'v held stuff in my teeth/mouth when I'm running out of hands and need to organise, but I wouldn't then hand that slobbered on thing to someone else and expect them to touch something covered in my body fluids.

Hence the need for the Cod Liver Oil.

Get yourself a box of latex gloves. Make them wait for you to put them on before touching anything. No words are necessary. The mere fact that you are putting them may be enough tolet them know how you feel.

Thankfully at my work we can refuse things like that and the managers will back us up - mostly because they're aware of how putrid it is.
However, when I worked at Wal Mart a woman tried to hand me a bill thart had been in her sweaty, mid-August, morbidly obese armpit.
I told her I wouldn't take the bill, she asked why and I explained it was because I'm not accepting something she'd had in her armpit.
She rebutted by stating, "It's still money!" to which I quipped, "Sweaty money."
She insisted she pay with that bill so I told her to leave it on the counter, I gave her the correct change and when it came time for the cash office to come by for a register pick-up I told them about the bill on the counter and that I wouldn't touch it.
Nor would they so it was picked up with a plastic bag.

I know there's a lot of icky things on money, but I don't need to SEE it right before you hand it to me. It's a lot easier to pretend it's not so gross when someone isn't pulling it out from some sweaty or slobbery part of their anatomy...

I used to put damp bills under the till in the drawer, so by the time I counted out it would be dry. ick.

[Fera Festiva]

That's... just...

[hecubus]

That's right up there in grossness to what was my biggest money pet peeve; people who would pull their money out of their sock!

Actually, I'd probably prefer mouth money to foot money.

(I apologise in advance for spelling mistakes, I have been drinking)
It was the way he causally took it out of his mouth and handed it to me WHILST BEING RUDE to me about our offers that bugged me.

Cinema customers often hold their tickets in their teeth. Popcorn in one hand, drink in the other, ticket in their teeth.

Or what's worse is when they come out of the toilet, then give you their ticket to rip and it's wet. And I'm thinking, "I really hope that is because you just washed your hands...."

I personally hate when busty women pull things out of their immense cleavage, especially in summer. It's not cute. Guys may think it's funny/cool/attractive, but guys don't wear bras. I do. And I happen to know that the bra (added to the sheer enormity of your boobs) makes your chest one of the sweatiest, nastiest parts of your body, and that collects in your cleavage.

Yes, different people sweat differently, but I'm not taking your word for it. I shall never ever touch anything that has been in your boob-space. Ew.

I was at a Walmart once when I saw a guy take out money that had been in the waist band of his shorts, his shorts were very sweaty by the way. Talk about gross

[BusBus]

People who hand you gross money never have any shame. I use to collect money from hikers fresh from the trails. They pulled their money out of their (incredibly sweaty) socks/shorts/sports bras/shoes. We use to have a row of wet $5 bills right above our till, waiting to dry. I even had a guy give me a (dry) blood covered bill once Apparently, he cut himself....

[Shengirl]

I hate that. I always gingerly take the bill or credit card with thinly veiled disgust on my face. I never say anything, but I hope the message gets across. However, if you're so self-absorbed that you think your bodily fluids are germless...I might be hoping in vain.

SCs never get the point on anything that's less subtle than a train wreck.

Ugh, I know what you mean. I like summertime, but I hate sweating in my cleavage. It makes my bra so uncomfortable for me. But I would never think of putting money in there! Money goes in a pocket or a wallet...or if I lack pockets, it goes in my boyfriend's pocket.

Jeez, they can't even put the money in a Ziploc bag before putting it in their shoes?!
