do you think it's rude?

I think it's not rude, but annoying. Okay, a bit rude. Just like you, I wanted to receive my change just the way I gave my payment. Sometimes, I lay my hand for them to give me my change but still they will put it on the counter. There was one time when that situation happened, I didn't remove my hands and insisted that she should put it there. The cashier did smirk. So annoying. I think others aren't taught of the right attitude towards that situation.

I also think it is rude whenever cashiers does that. I think we should be given our change in the hands and not on the counter. It looks more professional as well.

i think its rude to put or drop in the money just like that and keep walking away and its not at all fair for sure and i think it does not serve the purpose ideally

I don't think this has ever happened to me and if it did I don't really remember. I've usually been given my change directly into my hand. I'm also a cashier at my job and I always place the change into the customer's hand. I think it's just the proper thing to do and I don't know why someone would do it any other way.

both i guess.. it is rude when the person giving you the change is not busy and just put the money in the counter.. it should be give it your hand.. you`re sensitive if the person giving the change to you is busy so he can`t wait to put it to your hand and you`r offended by it then you are sensitive..

Ya i have never really had money put on a counter for me to pick up, but i see how you would think that is rude. I don't think it would be "rude" persay but just a unfriendly gesture...

I honestly don't see anything wrong with it. But maybe there are just some who would prefer handing down the change exactly the way they gave the money. Well, to each his own, I guess.....

you may think it's rude while the other party thinks otherwise. In short, he doesn't care if it's rude or not but the most important is to give you the correct change. If the "customer is always right", he must be understanding as well.

I have always been handed the money, never had that happen to me. If it does though yes I would think that is rude! I don't think it is too much trouble to hand the change to someone...

I think it's rude! Especially if I didn't just gave the money by putting it down the counter. I actually always hand the money to the cashier, right in her hands because she gestures her hand for it so in to her hand my money goes. Now when I'm getting my change, I also gestured my palm up in anticipation for receiving my change. Now if she will lay it down on the counter especially if it's got coins and I have to painstakingly grasp the coins laid out flat (I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds it hard to pick up coind laid flat on a flat surface, especially if you have very short fingernails), I would be a bit irritated, I think it's rude. Hello, we're both handling money and our hands are both technically dirty! Unless of course she's in a hurry to serve another customer, then I think that's fine. Otherwise, grrrr!

Hi anaknitatay, Yes I think that is really rude too. I think that's bad customer service. It shows they are only concerned with getting our money and not with giving the change back to us. It shows that they don't value personal relationships to their customers. There should be personal touch in every business' customer service. It's not all about business. How will their business grow if they don't treat customers well. If they continue doing this they will keep loosing customers. I don't feel like going back to a store with a customer service like that.

In the country where i am now,when you buy something from any of the stall or any groceries even markets they hand you back the change while saying thank you.they are very nice and polite and very honest.they never forget to say thank you to their costumers.sometimes i cant help but compare,though we cant judge people by their way of interacting with others.maybe he/she didnt mean to be rude by that,they are just doing their jobs(no personal attachments) all they care is to do their duty and finish their shift or perhaps thats the way they interact with people they dont know personally.We cannot expect people to act the way we want them or the same way we act or interact with them.yes we get disappointed but we cant change them,they are what they are.

I have never really thought about it but now you mention it I always pass it rather than dropping it on the counter,manners don't cost and there are to many rude and ignorant people around these days. I treat people with manners and respect and expect it back if I am not given it back,that is the only time I become rude myself. Treat people as you expect to be treated,if we all followed that things would be much better in the world today.

hello anaknitatay, actually I haven't thought it before you pointed out the question. But,yes, I'm totally on your side. If the clerk give me the change by dropping it on the counter, I'll feel offended.

I've also noticed this before. Some people are just used to putting the change on the counter table, and some are used to handing it straight to you. I don't think it has something to do with disrespect or the like. If I was on the other side of the counter, it would be easier for me to give the change back by just placing it on the table instead of locating the customer's hand first then giving the change.
