I still work retail and can't even begin to tell you how many times someone has done that. It's gross.

OMG I hope that did not happen often or only happened once.It has to be the most absurd thing ever to ask someone to do in public.

I think you misunderstood, she had old men ask her to directly put her hand into THEIR pants pocket and get the change, that's incredibly creepy. It's fine to keep change in your pockets, but to ask the cashier to grab it for you from this area, that's just weird. You can grab change from your pocket yourself.

Oh but I knew it and my reply was regarding the same if you were replying to me that is! Sorry if I did not make it clear in that comment

Oh there was another comment under yours that must have got removed, I was replying to them.

Especially in the summer. Some signs say something along the lines of "due to the high temperatures and increased sweating we are NOT accepting boob or sock money". just ewww

We didn't have signs, but my manager told us that under no circumstances were we to accept money unless it came out of a pocket, purse, wallet or any type of other acceptable money holder. If we had any problems, we could call them to back us up. It was for our own safety, they didn't want us to touch or deal with currency that was moist with bodily fluids on it and had even more germs than money already does.

Good god, is boob/sock money that big of a problem that signs are actually necessary?

when someone hands you a bill so soaked with sweat you can almost ring it out, you'll understand how gross it is
