EEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Person of the female persuasion (I will NOT call her a lady) comes to the register tonight and asks if she can turn in some ones ($1 dollar bills) for larger bills. Okay.

She plops down 60 (yes I counted them) $1 bills. After I counted them and handed her $60 in larger bills she tells me she is a "dancer" and can never find a place that will give her change.

Wait ... what?????? Those 60 $1 bills have been in your G-string??? EEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

:::cue me calling for backup and running off to wash, double wash, triple wash, and sanitize my hands:::

Well, probably a lot of ones have. I hate handling cash.

[downforit2008]

All right, I am officially about to throw up! That is completely disgusting!

[BeenThereDoneThat]

Yeeeeeeeaaaaahhhhhh...she really didn't need to share that bit of info with you. Cash is inherently dirty and nasty, we don't have to know EXACTLY how it got that way. Gross!

[Hanzoku]

...eh. I honestly wouldn't care. I did always wash my hands thoroughly when I went home though, simply because I don't like the smell of coins/bills.

I once had a guest pay for his hotel room and deposit in all 1's. I wonder if he was a dancer too. I'm just going to to out in the hallway and throw up about something else.

[Kristev]

I think, between this and watching "Contagion," that I should start washing all the cash money I get in the sink from now on.

I don't judge other people by their jobs as you never know who is working a really bad job that you may not agree with to get through school/pay the rent/feed their kids/etc. I put my ex-husband through college as a "dancer", took a whopping 4 months to pay for two years of tuition.

Aslo due to the inherent filthyness of money(seriously, ALWAYS wash your hands after touching money), many dancers use these, tip shoes, because it's safer(no touchy), and you never know who may pull tip money out of their sock

Waitstaff and pizza delivery people often carry around lots of ones from their tips, too. And it really doesn't matter if it's a stripper or Bill Gates handing you money; it's pretty much guaranteed to be filthy, it's just the nature of money.

There's a reason there are gallon-sized hand sanitizer pump jars at my job's registers!

[depechemodefan]

This reminds me, I worked with a "doctor" who ran a place that gave people hair treatments. Two of the customers were male stippers and I thinked they paid with very small bills.

And this is why I am glad that all Australian money is polymer rather than paper.

While it's still disgusting, at least the sweat smell doesn't linger

[Sheldonrs]

The same thing happened to me when I worked as a cashier at a textbook store for Rutgers U. Except it was 300 singles. By stripper is better than your stripper! LOL

[EricKei]

fireheart - It's worse than you think -- US money is mostly linen. Nice, absorbent cloth >_>

[Aislin]

At least she told you. She could have just given you the ones and you not know to sanitize your hands.

Just curious, but how many years in the slammer do you get for laundering money?

There's a reason it's called "filthy lucre".
