Today, I was chatting with a customer who comes regularly to my job. He sticks his hand out and I put my hand on his, thinking he's giving me a high five. He was just waiting for his receipt. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I was checking out a customer who seemed quite friendly. As I finished, he reached slightly over the counter and I impulsively reached out and shook his hand. He gave me a dumbfounded look and said, "Can I have my change please?" FML

Who the hell "puts" their hand on a high five? You gotta slap that. The way you described it made it sound like a conjugal visit at a state penitentiary. No wonder it would have been awkward.

Take it as going over and beyond in customer service! going that extra effort (even if was by mistake) can make a difference in someone's day

just laugh it off. this is a funny story, and you should tell it to everyone. my friends would get a kick out of it if this happened to me.

Wow never seen anyone put their hand above their head in the high five position to get a receipt.

Why was his hand so high that you confused it with high-five position? Do you work at a grocery store and he was expecting one of those mile-long ticker tape receipts?

You should have tried to play it off as a joke. And if you thought he wanted a high five in the first place, then I doubt he's the kind of person who'd be annoyed about it...amused by it maybe.
