When you make a purchase, do you ever put the money on the counter? (11)
I never thought of it as being an insult, actually. If the clerk has his/her hand out, I'll put the money there. Otherwise it goes on the counter, no insults intended.

Hi lass, have to say never thought about it. Here if the season is bad it is considered Good Luck if the customer throws the money on the floor , and the shop keeper will ask you to do it. Imagine doing that it other countries 
likely to get alot of abusive.

That IS a strange custom!!------ This thread is Archived ------
I normally hand it right to them, for the simple reason that it can be difficult to pick the coins back up.

yes it is, last summer when i had a really bad day, the shop keeper next door came in and threw a small amount of money on the floor to bring me luck. Her kindness made me feel better if nothing else.------ This thread is Archived ------
the prices being the way that they are, and the jobless rate being the way that it is (at least around here) I usually just throw the money at the cashier....------ This thread is Archived ------
In the UK there is not hard and fast rule really, you will either have it handed to you or put on the counter. More often it will be placed in your hand....
In Italy, it is customary to NOT place change for a purchase into your hand. I am not sure why this is but the shopkeeper will more often than not have a little tray or dish on the counter purposely for putting the change in.

What do you think? is it an insult to put the money on the counter when you pay?
