It is considered rude to hand someone cash directly. Next to each register I encountered, there was a little dish. When purchasing something, put the money or card in the dish, the cashier will swipe the card or take the cash and then put your change/card back in the dish for you to pick up. It took me a few weeks to figure this out, and fathom why I was getting dirty looks and eye rolls from cashiers when I handed them money nor why they’d sort of toss it in the dish or on the counter after. Hopefully it can help someone have a smoother trip
