Everytime I pay for something, the cashier and I can never figure out which way to transfer money from hand to theirs. I go to just straight up hand it to them, like they remove it from my hand, and then they wait for me to put it on the counter, when I go to put it on the counter, they go to grab it from my hands, and vice versa. It always happens, I can't stop it, and it's hellishly awkward. D:
I usually just put the money in front of the cashier.
Anyway just commit to handing the money or putting it on the counter.
It's like walking in a hallway in school.
If you commit to going left or right clearly, then people will be able to anticipate where you'll go, and you won't bump into anybody.
Same concept, except instead of going left or right it's putting the money on the counter or handing it to them.
