At one of the offices I manage one of the front desk workers is out on maternity leave so I am helping out that job. The job consists of answering the phones, taking payments, helping the customers...general receptionist work.
So I have not worked on the taking of the payments side in a long time. We have a counter that is waist height for the customer and then a lower desk that we sit at where the computer and cash drawer is located this is all attached. Anyways so many people will take out their money, credit card, check and lay it on the counter further away from us and so we have to get up to get the money. Seriously when I have my hand out put it in my hand! Or atleast slide it closer to me so I dont have to get up.
Also....I did not realize how many women keep their money in their bras!!! YUCK! I just had a woman come in to pay her bill. Reached down the front of her shirt and pulled out a envelope. The worse part...it was slightly wet.
I am sure the next 3 months are going to be interesting for me.

Ew, yeah when I worked for a mortgage company some women would pull the money out of their bras to pay their mortgage...it was gross!
I never had an issue with them not handing the money to me though. LOL, some people are weird!
