Today, I was at work when a customer, who was going to pay for her groceries, started sorting through her money. She put some coins in her mouth, seemed to suck on them for a while, and then gave them to me. FML

Those coins have been far worse places, trust me. As a cashier myself, I just go with the assumption that all the money is absolutely disgusting, so just don't touch your face and wash your hands after your shift

Pff, everyone's so scared of germs these days. Sure, I'd wash my hands afterwards because I wouldn't like the idea of that lady's drool on my hands, but do you have any idea how many bacteria you come in contact with even when not handling cash and such? Do you sanitise your hands every few minutes then?

Yes, don't be afraid of 'bacteria' .... Be afraid of a women who would essentially soak her hand in her mouth before shaking yours. That is something to avoid. But germs are unavoidable. Hopefully what doesn't kill u only makes you stronger.

That sounds like pica. I've heard that people who taste coins have an iron deficiency.

She's just getting rid of the nastiness that WAS on them......... Wash your hands

Eeuw!! The nerve of that customer.. I personally think that you shouldn't have taken them(the coins) that is..

I would not accept those coins to be perfectly honest. I don't think my manager would be mad at me either.

Did the coins come out of her mouth much bigger and stiffer than when she put them it?

I did a project where i had to research bacteria on money. We did coins and we found mold and staph...
